BIOMIN Scientist Verity-Ann Sattler on the AVANT Project

Staff at the BIOMIN Research Center is involved in a 5-year, €6 million EU-backed research consortium effort to decrease the application of antibiotics in pigs.

The Alternatives to Veterinary ANTimicrobials or AVANT Project, involving 14 partner organizations from 9 countries and funded by Sustainable Resources for Food Safety & Growth European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research & Innovation Platform, is led by the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.

The project seeks to develop alternatives to antimicrobials for the management of bacterial infections in pigs, especially diarrhea during the weaning period, as the major indication for antimicrobial use in livestock.

BIOMIN Scientist Verity-Ann Sattler answers key questions on BIOMIN's involvement and her experience with the AVANT Project thus far.
