Our Accomplishments
Company cases:
CERMAQ: DEVELOPING VACCINES FOR FARMED SALMON
Together with biotech company Benchmark Animal Health, Cermaq
works to develop a vaccine against salmon diseases caused by the Tenacibaculum bacteria. A preventative vaccine for these diseases would provide huge benefit for a sustainable development of the aquaculture industry.
CARGILL: REDUCING ANTIBIOTICS USE IN AQUAFEED
Cargill´s aqua nutrition business is working to reduce the risk of AMR in its supply chains through a number of measures. Antibiotics are only added to Cargill´s aqua nutrition feeds on receipt of a veterinary prescription, detailing the product, dose and quantity of feed required. Only antibiotics listed as not critically important for human health are used. Since 2015, the company has reduced the total level of active ingredients by 80 percent.
NUTRECO: TOOLS TO VIETNAMESE FARMERS TO REDUCE ANTIBIOTICS USE
To address the use of antibiotics in the aquaculture industry in Vietnam, Skretting developed a project aimed at creating more awareness on the responsible use of antibiotics and on AMR. This included training on responsible use and how to farm shrimp without antibiotics, development of AMR videos together with ShrimpTech Vietnam, and a medicine calculator app to provide appropriate dosing recommendations.
