I. Introduction The UK review of antimicrobial resistance presented now outdated 2014 data on AMR consequences for human life (O’Neill, 2016). They estimated that 700,000 people die every year from AMR, with concerning devastating effects on infant mortality. In India, 60,000 newborn babies die each year from antibiotic-resistant neonatal infections. This problem is more prominent in less developed countries but by no means restricted to them. In the US, there are more than two...
INTRODUCTION Salinomycin is an ionophore antibiotic used in pigs as a growth promoter (Rutz & Lima 2001) and preventively to control the clinical signs of enteric diseases caused by bacteria of the genus Brachyspira (Hampson et al. 2006). Properly used, ionophores are effective in both indications, but they are myotoxic in excessive doses (Novilla 1992). Salinomycin facilitates ionic flow through the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial membranes (Mitani et al. 1976)....
APIs MARKET
The vet APIs market underwent a profound adjustment in the Q1-Q2 of 2023, but most industry insiders are hoping for a market rebound in the second half of 2023; the main reason is they are optimistic about the recovery of consumer demand in the year. The month of July has ended, and the rebound shows no sign of arriving anytime soon; the lukewarm downstream market still hasn't improved, and the price of most of the products is running low and steady. Doxycycline failed...

Introduction The application and distribution of manure on croplands is influenced by the relief and geographical position of farms and the size of the area, being limited to certain times of the year depending on weather conditions (Hodgson et al., 2016; Broetto & Meinerz, 2017). Therefore, until its disposal, manure needs to be kept in a suitable storage structure and to be correctly managed, which requires understanding the basic types of bacteria present in it. According...
INTRODUCTION Highly digestible feed ingredients and feed additives are used to help young pigs transition from sow’s milk to solid diets (Skinner et al., 2014; Valini et al., 2021). Thus, the cost of swine diets is greatest during the nursery phase of production due to the complexity of ingredients, e.g., whey, blood plasma and industrial amino acids. As compensatory growth has been associated with increased feed efficiency, it is a mechanism that may help to increase...
INTRODUCTION Pork is a highly popular food for many people owing to its excellent nutritional qualities. However, consumers usually do not choose their food solely for its nutrients and other characteristics are also taken into account, such as whether the product is visually appealing, chemically and biologically safe to eat, free from artificial preservatives or food additives, and healthy (Jaturasitha et al., 2016). Fats are one of the few components of meat that can be...
