Successful smallholder farmers and healthy livestock are essential to achieving food security in many rural communities. A few weeks ago, World Food Program USA President and CEO Barron Segar had the honor of joining Zoetis Foundation President Jeannette Ferran Astorga for a fireside chat to discuss our unique partnership providing financial assistance and veterinary services in Ethiopia and Kenya. Thank you for your collaboration and dedication as we better understand the intersections of animal health, global food security, sustainable livestock, and thriving farmer livelihoods.

🌍 At Ceva, we are committed to help feeding the world sustainably. As the world's population continues to grow, taking care of animals and preventing diseases are crucial steps to feeding everyone properly. ✅ #AnimalHealth is directly linked to our food security. Indeed, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 20% of the world’s livestock is lost every year to disease. According to Oxford Analytica (part of FiscalNote) this represents losses equivalent to the annual consumption needs of 1.6 billion people worldwide. With 10 billion people soon to be living on our planet, it is essential to take action to ensure that as many people as possible have access to a safe source of proteins. 💉 This is why Ceva invests heavily in preventive medicine to prevent animals from falling ill, thus contributing to a more resilient and sustainable system. #WorldFoodSafetyDay #DiseasePrevention #SustainableFoodSystem #GlobalImpact #FoodSafety #FoodSafetyDay #OnePlanet #OneHealth https://loom.ly/tm8Ofls World Health Organization - Health for Animals - AnimalhealthEurope - World Organisation for Animal Health

MORE THAN ONE BILLION. This is how many chickens are reared each year in the UK alone. Most are confined in crowded barren sheds, and bred to grow so big so fast (4x faster than 50 years ago) that they cannot behave like chickens, who naturally like to perch, peck, forage and play. These birds often struggle to walk and spend most of their time sitting doing nothing or become lame. Dr Tracey Jones, Director of Compassion in World Farming - Food Business, recently sat down with Poultry News to talk about the Better Chicken Commitment. Food Businesses who sign up commit to introduce higher welfare standards for ALL chickens in their supply chain, by 2026. Including: 🐔 Use of slower-growing, healthier breeds of chicken 🐔 More space to live 🐔 Natural light, perches and pecking objects such as grain and straw 🐔 More humane slaughter practices 🐔 Compliance with third-party animal welfare auditing and annual reporting Read the full interview with Tracey here: https://lnkd.in/eNZ4mXfz

In this article we will treat in general the signs exhibited by a healthy animal, signs of ill health or disease, and general measures of disease prevention in a farm. Because these measures are similar for most livestock. It will be treated in one unit. #GeneralAgriculture

Preventive Diagnostics for Healthy Livestock! A key aspect of food safety begins with the health of food animals themselves. Veterinarians employ preventive diagnostics to monitor and assess the health status of livestock. Through routine screenings, early detection of potential threats is possible, enabling prompt intervention to maintain the wellbeing of the animals destined for our dinner tables. #DrOlam #HealthyLivestock #PreventiveDiagnostics #FoodSafety #AnimalHealth #onehealth #AnimalCareLab #FarmToTable #LivestockHealthcare

#Stop #Eating #Animals On top of all the problems with eating farmed salmon, as stated in this post by Oliver Dauert (and you have the same issues with animal welfare, antibiotics, and pollution obviously on land as well, and a lot worse even), we use 80% of all agriculturally used land to feed and keep livestock (supplying only 17%! of our calory intake), while we use only 16% to grow food we eat ourselves. The remaining 4% we use to grow biofuels. What a waste.

Fivestock has five smart buying lenses. 1. Improved animal welfare. There is no double handling required. All livestock go from the farm straight to the processor. 2. More data. Individual weights, fat scores and carbon credentials can move with livestock on the platform. 3. Reduced risk. Improved with detailed livestock assessment. Reserve prices are set on all livestock at zero cost if passed in. No sale = no fee. 4. Improved sustainability & biosecurity. Less movement, less risk, better product. 5. Fair & transparent. Realistic reserves, real time prices.

Poor animal health can negatively impact animal wellbeing & productivity, producer livelihoods, food security, human health, and the environment. The Global Burden of Animal Diseases (GBADs) Programme uses systematic methods and models of populations, disease, and economy dynamics to estimate the impacts of disease and other health problems in terrestrial and aquatic livestock species, with the aim of enhancing decision making in animal and public health. To make these approaches more accessible, we have recently published the GBADs Technical Guide (v1.0). This guide is a working document that will be updated as methods evolve, and the first edition provides details on how to calculate and understand: · 🐖 Livestock biomass · 💵 The economic value of farmed animals and their outputs · 💉 Economic losses from reduced productivity and expenditure on veterinary services (the Animal Health Loss Envelope, AHLE) · 🦠 Attribution of losses to specific causes · 👨👨👧👧 Wider economic impact of animal disease burdens The guide is available at https://lnkd.in/gxdU8niV, and was supported by funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office

Taking good care of your animals is really important. When we talk about caring for your livestock's health, we mean making sure they are happy and healthy. Just like people need care, animals do too! Animals can't talk, so we need to pay attention to them in different ways. One way is by looking at them. Are they eating well? Do they look active and happy? #GeneralAgriculture
