Introduction

Agricultural commodities - demand is increasing not enough crop land

• World population: ~10 billion people in 2050

• Increasing economic wealth people demand higher product quality

• Additional demand by transport industry (bio-ethanol)

• Rural depopulation: average age of farmers in the world is 65 years

• Urbanisation: amount of arable land is decreasing

Drivers of Innovation:Global demands on the livestock business

Industrialised countries

• Animal Welfare

• Sustainability

• AGP free

• Quality

Emerging countries

• Affordable meat

• Supply the demand

• Increase productivity

• AGP free

Drivers of Innovation: Increasing productivity by reducing post harvest losses

• The post-harvest system encompasses the delivery of a crop from the time and place of harvest to the time and place of consumption

– with minimum loss,– maximum efficiency – and maximum return for all

involved" (The Hidden Harvest, 1976).

Crop growing As a standard, fungicides and seed treatments are used in all

crops and cereals

Post harvest / storage

losses

Even under optimal growing and harvest conditions losses

are incurred immediately post harvest. Up to 3.5 % in central

Europe and 30 % in tropical areas are lost due to spoilage

and pests (FAO)

Animal production Spoilt raw materials and feeds reduce efficiency of animal

production. They may also pose a risk for human health due

to carry over of mycotoxins into human food.

What are the consequences for the farmer?

• Compound feed production for broilers in Germany: ~4 mio. mt/year

• Improvement of FCR with enzyme supplementation:

Do we need to talk about antibiotic free animal production or is it only a European spleen?

It is not!

Drivers of Innovation:Reducing antibiotics in livestock production


14 14

• While the use of non therapeutic antibioticsin animal nutrition has been banned in Europe since 2006, it is still in practice in many countries around the world

• Worry regarding the development of antibiotic resistant bacteria, and the potential implications for human health, have created public concern worldwide regarding such management practices

• The development of alternatives to the use of antibiotics is therefore a priority for the industry.

• Let’s have a look at the European approach

Important strategies to reduce antibiotic use in animal production• Creating an optimal environment for the animal to avoid all

unnecessary stress factors and paying close attention to animal welfare

• Reducing stocking density and paying attention to hygiene, litter and air quality

• Optimising diet formulation in regard to protein content and buffering capacity

• Improving performance by looking for the optimal feed additive to support gut health

Animal welfare is the subject of rapidly increasing concern in most countries in the world!

Freedom…

… by ready access to fresh water and a diet to maintain full health and vigour.

… by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area.

… by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment.

… by providing sufficient space, proper facilities and company of the animal’s own kind.

… by ensuring conditions and treatment which avoid mental suffering.

Drivers of Innovation:Global demands on the livestock business„Animal Welfare“ A practical example from Germany called “Initiative Tierwohl”

• Foundation in 2012/2013 by a joint effort of the association of farmers, the meat industry and the food retail sector

• QS (Qualität und Sicherheit) acts as coordinator and platform organization

• Two important animal welfare NGOs (DeutscherTierschutzbund, ProVieh) took part in the development of the system

• In 2015 farms could start to register in the system

Global demands on the livestock business

Conclusion….

• Industrialised countries and emerging countries have different demand on the meat-producing sector

• The demands of industrialised countries have an effect on the meat production in emerging countries (global food trade)

Innovative Feed additives must meet the demands of both

Options for the feed industry…

• … to reduce AGP

• … to inrease productivity

• … to improve animal welfare

• …
