Grape extracts to prevent the use of antibiotics in farmed animals

Grape extracts to prevent the use of antibiotics in farmed animals Learn about the NeoGiANT project, which focuses on the antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of grape extracts to prevent the need for antibiotics in farmed animals. The inappropriate use of antibiotics in animal production accelerates the loss of effectiveness of these medicines against microorganisms and contributes to the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria. To address this challenge, the NeoGiANT project is developing effective alternatives to the main antibiotics used in livestock – cattle, pigs, poultry and farmed fish – across nutrition, health and reproduction practices. The ultimate objective is to reduce antibiotic use by limiting its use exclusively to the treatment of severe infections, rather than applying it as a routine preventive measure.
