Small switches
Big change
We know you want to help
reduce antimicrobial resistance,
but it’s hard to know where to begin.
Our integrated feed-farm-health approach
can help you use antibiotics more responsibly
– one step at a time!
A serious health risk we can tackle together
The problem of antimicrobial resistance is becoming more urgent, putting not only livestock but humans at risk and impacting animal welfare, farm productivity and profitability and food security. By 2050, antimicrobial resistance is expected to be the main cause of death for people globally.
As part of the livestock industry, we can – and must – make a difference.
“Antimicrobial resistance happens when microorganisms, exposed to drugs like antibiotics, become resistant to those drugs, making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, illness and death.”
How reducing antibiotic use will benefit your business
Though it may seem contrary to how our industry has operated in the past, antibiotic reduction is now proving to bring clear benefits to livestock producers:
Trouw Nutrition’s Antibiotic Reduction Program uses a less-is-more approach, empowering you to reduce dependency on antibiotics through small steps that together lead to big change.
We take it one switch at a time!
In our farms we have achieved both a higher body weight and less variation in the animals as well as improved health status. These excellent results have reinforced the position of NUDESA with our clients in the compound feed business.
Our promise
Our purpose, Feeding the Future, is our reason for being. And part of this is ensuring that animals are raised with optimal nutrition and good welfare.
We know we can drastically reduce antibiotic use in livestock production by moving to a new farming model based on holistic and multistakeholder collaboration. But producers need support to be able to optimize conditions and switch to healthy alternatives.
A holistic approach – including healthy nutrition, husbandry best practices and feed and water additives – can reduce antibiotic usage and result in protein products “never-ever” exposed to antibiotics, and over time, less antimicrobial resistance.
This takes cooperation across the food chain, so we aim to empower animal protein producers to effectively reduce reliance on antibiotics during the production cycle.
Our offer
We aim to make the ‘’switch’’ to responsible use of antibiotics easy and manageable for swine and poultry producers through our integrated Antibiotic Reduction Program with a clear step-by-step approach.
We offer the expertise, products, services, and models to gradually transition your business to sustainable practices, helping you reduce the use of antibiotics in a way that benefits both animal health and profitability with the end goal to address the urgent problem of antimicrobial resistance.
We empower producers with:
- Step-by-step, integrated approach
- Global pool of experts: nutritionists, veterinarians, farm managers
- Integrated solutions:
This healthy move was possible, because producers received technical and management guidance from the early stages, including measures to support feed quality and the way birds are raised.
2. Assessment - Assess your production from A to Z (feed, farm, health)
To design a holistic solution for you, we need to understand the total picture of your operations: your feed, your farm and your animals’ health. Then we can see where you can make small adjustments that will help you reach your ambitions over time.
