A serious threat to global public health
The use and overuse of antibiotics are widely seen as a serious threat to global public health today. In many countries, widespread human use of antibiotics combined with large-scale treatment of livestock and food-producing animals with antibiotics has resulted in growing resistance, with more and more infections failing to respond to antibiotic treatment. Experts say thousands of people around the world die every year from antibiotic-resistant infections.
Tap into the many alternatives to antibiotics Sonac has developed and tested
The good news is that heavy dosages of antibiotics are no longer necessary in feed. At Sonac we have developed and tested many alternatives. For examples, piglets fed diets containing Sonac plasma protein products perform as well as piglets fed diets containing antibiotics.
