Success Story 9. AVANT - Alternatives to Veterinary ANTimicrobials [Project: AVANT; Expert: René Lindner]

This document presents the AVANT Project experience with HSBooster.eu services

AVANT addressed the human health risk posed by excessive antimicrobial use in veterinary medicine due to the potential transfer of resistant bacteria. Focused on managing pig enteritis, a leading reason for antimicrobial use in food animals, AVANT explored various solutions, including gut microbiome modulators, innovative medicines targeting pathogens or enhancing the pig’s immune response, and feed-based preventive strategies. After pre-clinical studies that considered regulatory aspects, the most promising interventions were tested in farm trials. Mathematical modelling also played a key role in predicting how these alternatives could reduce antimicrobial use.
