proviron - healthy chickens in nature without antibiotics

reducing antibiotics

helping for more sustainable livestock management

Bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics. A major reason for this is the worldwide use of antibiotics in animal feed. The WHO (World Health Organisation) and Europe are making significant efforts to reduce the use of antibiotics. We are contributing to this with our feed additives. 
Proviron’s feed additives support the foundation of a healthy diet. After all, a healthy diet ensures a healthy gut and good digestion, and therefore also healthier, strong animals that do not need preventive antibiotics. It goes without saying that this benefits the welfare of the animals.

European Green Deal: ‘Farm to Fork’

The Farm to Fork Strategy is at the heart of the European Green Deal aiming to make food systems fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly.

Food systems cannot be resilient to crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic if they are not sustainable. We need to redesign our food systems which today account for nearly one-third of global GHG emissions, consume large amounts of natural resources, result in biodiversity loss and negative health impacts (due to both under- and over-nutrition) and do not allow fair economic returns and livelihoods for all actors, in particular for primary producers.

Putting our food systems on a sustainable path also brings new opportunities for operators in the food value chain. New technologies and scientific discoveries, combined with increasing public awareness and demand for sustainable food, will benefit all stakeholders.

The Farm to Fork Strategy aims to accelerate our transition to a sustainable food system that should:

  • have a neutral or positive environmental impact
  • help to mitigate climate change and adapt to its impacts
  • reverse the loss of biodiversity
  • ensure food security, nutrition and public health, making sure that everyone has access to sufficient, safe, nutritious, sustainable food
  • preserve affordability of food while generating fairer economic returns, fostering competitiveness of the EU supply sector and promoting fair trade

sustainability, innovation and social impact

Antibiotics can lead to disruption of gut flora. As a result, digestion may be less efficient and nitrogen secretion higher than in healthy animals. Using fewer antibiotics contributes to animal welfare. But it is also better for people and the environment.

By reducing the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry, we reduce residues in our food chain and slow down the resistance of bacteria to antibiotics. In this way, the pharmaceutical industry has the opportunity to use existing antibiotics for longer and at the same time has more breathing space to develop new medicines.
Proviron’s innovative additives increase the ease of use for animal feed producers. Both the large feed groups and integrators, as well as the smaller feed producers, can use our products directly or through premix in the available infrastructure.
