A significant number of scientific papers were presented, as well as oral presentations about our products Hostazym suis and Lianol and multiple papers about Pharmasin, Vetmulin and Tilmovet.

And to strike a balance - we spent 4 useful and successful days during IPVS.

Dosage Pigs and Poultry calculators can be very helpful tools for each veterinarian. The calculators which can be found at https://veterinary.huvepharma.com/calculators/select can be used by pig and poultry vets. They calculate the correct dose of medication for the animals in mg/kg body weight. These online tools can be used for every medicated premix and veterinary drugs from all companies. That is how precision pays in health care.

For that reason, new subsidiary offices were opened recently in India and Brazil.

Our office in India is responsible for sales-marketing and technical assistance for the local market, together with the markets in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal.

The Brazilian office deals with sales and marketing activities and technical assistance for the local Brazilian market.

On the 2nd and final day of the Int'l Veterinary Symposium, organized by Huvepharma, the focus was on new insights in pig and poultry diseases, and how to deal with the changing international agri markets, which concerns farmers and veterinarians.

C. perfringens in broilers

Dr. Anouk Lanckriet from Belgium talked about C. perfringens that poses a continuing challenge for the poultry industry. She explained that C. perfringens is a worldwide economic problem, causing acute Necrotic Enteritis that in turn causes a sudden increase of flock mortality (30-50%).

However, C. perfringens strains differ in the type of toxins they produce and also in the amount of toxins they shred. A study on broiler farms in Belgium showed that in the 63 isolated they got from these farms, all belonged to the toxinotype A: alpha toxin. Lanckriet said that besides this common alpha toxin, a new toxin was discovered 2 years ago: the netB toxin. Studies with this toxin showed that deletion of the netB gene in virulant strain caused reduced virulance of the virus. However, netB negative strains were also found in Necrotic Enteritis positive birds.

Anouk also mentioned a survey conducted in the UK in 2001 where a strong correlation between the history of coccidiosis and the prevalence of Necrotic Enteritis was found. Another factor that has been shown to influence the presence of Necrotic Enteritis is the stocking density. A study showed that the disease was more present in birds that were kept at a stocking density of 30kg/m² compared to chickens that were housed at 15kg/m².

According to new EU rules, stocking density can be maximum 33kg/m², with an increase to 39 or 42kg/m² if certain standards are met. Anouk said that this could create problems regarding Necrotic Enteritis if other measures are not put in place - such as alternatives to AGPs, such as organic acids, essential oils or probiotics.

An agri market lecture

Osler Desouzart from Brazil gave a lively presentation about the current and future agri markets. World leadership in animal production is open, but who will win? He said that there is enough food on the planet, but the way and what we consume is changing rapidly. He mentioned that if people earn more money (mostly in Asia), the consumption of animal protein goes up and they shift from eating vegetable protein to meat. He said that the future of the food industry is therefore in the hands of the ones that don't eat enough.

Dose calculator for veterinarians

In his final comments of the symposium, Alain Kanora - Global marketing Director & International Sales Director Affiliates for Huvepharma - introduced the dose calculator https://veterinary.huvepharma.com/calculators/select that can be used by pig and poultry vets. This tool - looking like a normal calculator - can be used to calculate the correct dose of medication for the animals in mg/ kg body weight. It can be used for every medicated premix and veterinary drugs from all companies. Every veterinarian present at the symposium received such calculator, and with the slogan "precision pays", the organization can look back on a very successful first symposium.

Natural proteins dictating the future

Huvepharma is a young, ambitious world player on the market of veterinary products and feed additives who regularly brings innovations and product introductions.  It has gained a strong position in the demanding segment of intensive live stock production thanks to its dedication and high quality products.

The intensive live stock production has changed dramatically over the years and farmers and integrators are continuously looking for possibilities to improve health status and production levels through clever use of new management systems and feed supplements.  Various reputable scientists strongly believe in the positive effects natural products can have on metabolic processes.  Reaching improved immunity levels results in higher health status and inherently means reaching higher productivity levels.  A large number of natural complementary feeding stuff products have been screened over the years but only a limited selection can deliver and live up to these expectations.  Huvepharma is introducing a perfect example of such a product, Lianol®, a highly digestible fermented potato protein of which the use results in pro-metabolic peptides in food producing animals.  Lianol® was developed by Ardol BV, Netherlands.

Performance increase with Lianol®

The unfavorable effect of the Negative Energy Balance on pig fertility and performance has been studied in depth and is largely documented in multiple academic circles.  Various forms of metabolic stress reduce the capacity of the liver cells to produce its normal endocrine metabolic peptides and related functions.  Low levels hereof can cause impaired fertility, retarded growth, impaired feed conversion and reduced immunity.  Lianol® administration supports the capacity of the liver to produce the necessary and needed physiological metabolic peptides.  All this results in a better natural immunity, enhanced natural heat, shorter weaning to insemination period and reduced number of empty days in sows, all inducing a better and restored liver function and metabolism.

More piglets, more benefit

With the benefits of Lianol® use in sows confirmed, the effect on the piglets was also studied.  It was found that the litters of Lianol® treated sows were not only larger, they also produced more weaned piglets and mortality levels were considerably lower than untreated sows.  Detailed results will be presented at the International Porcine Veterinary Society (IPVS) 2010, Vancouver.

Range addition

The combination of these findings with improved piglet immunity levels, higher milk production in sows, optimal standing heat, less empty days and even an increased boar libido and higher seamen quality was convincing enough for Huvepharma to include Lianol® in its broad world-wide available product range and to provide these product benefits to customers.  Next to the obtained results in pig production, Huvepharma is supporting research to develop use of Lianol® for other species.

Lianol® brand is owned by Ardol BV, Netherlands
