Wormsparc EU

We can start capturing best farming practices! 📽 Last week we met as a project team in Cordobá, Spain. After the training on how to make videos with your smartphone, we are ready to start recording farming practices to reduce anthelmintic resistance. Want to get started making videos with your smartphone yourself? Then check out Grazing4AgroEcology's tutorial here: https://lnkd.in/e2ce-Qam #SPARC #sustainable #parasites #farming #videomaking

Desde el BOVIverso comienza mi andadura como EMBAJADOR por España en el proyecto de investigación SPARC (Sustainable Parasite Control in Grazing Ruminants) de la UE de la mano de la Científica Titular del CSIC María Martínez Valladares. Muchísimas gracias María por tu confianza en mí, espero estar a la altura de las expectativas. Se calcula que las infecciones por helmintos suponen unas pérdidas de producción de 1.440 millones €/año en Europa. El objetivo final del proyecto es aumentar el rendimiento y la resiliencia de las ganaderías de rumiantes mediante una amplia difusión de las mejores prácticas, herramientas y soluciones en materia de control sostenible de parásitos que mejoren (1) la salud y el bienestar de los animales; (2) el rendimiento económico, y (3) la sostenibilidad medioambiental del sector. SPARC es una alianza de 15 socios (10 países), coordinada por el Instituto de Investigación sobre Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación de Flandes (ILVO) y Kreavet (Bélgica). Los socios participantes son la Universidad de Gante (BE), Universidad de Nápoles Federico II (IT), Organización Agrícola Helénica (ELGO)-DIMITRA (GR), Asociación de la Organización de Agricultura y Horticultura del Sur (Zuidelijke Land- en Tuinbouworganisatie Vereniging) (NL), Instituto de la Ganadería (FR), Salud Animal Irlanda (IE), Bioresearch Laboratories (GR), Agencia Estatal, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas, CSIC (ES), Fundación Toinen Pro Art (PL), Centro Interregional de Información e Investigación en Producción Ovina Le Mourier (FR), Boehringer Ingelheim (DE), La Universidad Queen's de Belfast (UK) y Moredun Research Institute (UK).

Op zoek naar slimme oplossingen op het boerenerf om de resistentie voor ontwormingsmiddelen te verminderen. Daarvoor kwamen wij als Europees projectteam Wormsparc EU afgelopen week bijeen. Met mijn training als startpunt gaan we nu in heel Europa aan de slag met met het maken van praktische, korte filmpjes op de smartphone om de boerenpraktijken vast te leggen 💪🏻 ZLTO Marieke de Louw Rianne van Helden Wormsparc EU Grazing4AgroEcology

Moments, during out first General Assemply !! We were so happy to have our SPARC ambassadors participating!!!! Their presence really made the difference! 24-25 October #Cordoba #Spain #SPARC #wormsparc #sustainablewormcontrol #horizonEurope

🌍🚫🐛 Fight Anthelmintic Resistance! 🐛🚫🌍 Did you know that anthelmintic resistance is spreading across Europe? Many helminth populations are now resistant to common anthelmintics like macrocyclic lactones and benzimidazoles. But there’s hope! ✨ 💊 Explore Less Common Drugs: Options like levamisole and monepantel are still effective! 🔄 Mix It Up: Using combination therapies can help keep these treatments working longer! Let’s use these tools wisely and sustainably to ensure we protect our health and our animals. Together, we can beat resistance! 💪 #EUproject #WormSPARC #AnthelminticResistance #SustainableHealth #HelminthControl #VetCare #PublicHealth

"Meet our team" 👋 As a farmers association, ZLTO is the link between farmers, government, business and society. Annick and her colleagues work hard to create and maintain perspective for farmers. They also join forces with their members and stimulate cooperation and innovation in agriculture and horticulture. #EUproject #WormSparc #LivestockHealth #HelminthInfections #Agriculture #Hurticulture #Farmers #SustainableFarming

🌾🐄🐑 Did You Know? Helminth infections cost European livestock production sector nearly €2 billion each year! 💸 🩺While many helmith infections are sub-clinical, and often do not cause severe clinical signs, their economic impact is HUGE! 💰 Here's how: Weight Loss: Infected animals struggle to gain weight, affecting their market value. 📉 Lower Milk Production: Infected animals produce less milk, hitting farmers where it hurts most! 🥛 💡 Prioritizing helminth management is crucial for healthier animals and a more profitable farming sector! Let’s raise awareness and protect our livestock! 💚 #EU #WormSPARC #LivestockHealth #HelminthInfections #Agriculture #Farmers #EconomicImpact #SustainableFarming
