Experts meeting: Leveraging the Animal Microbiome to Achieve Productivity Goals in Livestock Industries – Thursday May 11, 2023

The microbiome plays a crucial role in animal health and performance, influencing a wide range of physiological processes. By understanding the function and composition of the microbiome, targeted interventions can be developed to promote a healthy microbial. community, reducing the risk of disease and improving animal performance and welfare. Data-driven decision making is essential for managing livestock to meet current production and environmental demands. Partnering with genomics experts can help you to convert these data into management decisions and calculate process costs and benefits.

BaseClear invites you to our Experts Meeting focused on bridging the gap between real-life data, and animal health, performance, and welfare traits. Join us on Thursday May 11, 2023 to learn from leading experts about:

  • Holistic nutrition and management practices for supporting a healthy microbiome and decreasing disease.
  • Microbiome-promoting feed additives for increasing animal production.
  • Crucial roles of gut microbiome in immune function and stress prevention.
  • Targeted microbial interventions to enhance animal health and performance

Keynote Speaker: Emma Hernandez-Sanabria, PhD - Product Manager at BaseClear

Revealing microbial metabolic pathways that deliver value in enhancing animal welfare and performance is an important step towards improving animal health and productivity in a sustainable and responsible way. It is an area of ongoing research and innovation that holds promise for the future of animal production. By using genomic technologies, researchers can identify the specific genes and pathways that contribute to the beneficial effects of the microbiome. Embracing differences on inter-individual responses requires targeting highly specific metabolic pathways. Tailored analysis tools have been developed to deliver improved results and enable precise identification of candidate genes for developing customized feeding or management interventions. This information can then be used to engineer effective strategies that can improve animal health and productivity.
