This is a multi-phase project aimed at addressing antibiotic resistance and improving ruminant livestock digestion to reduce carbon emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Phase 1, ProAgni has developed educational content on antibiotic resistance and will deliver around six presentations at industry and academic events over the next year, with a goal of 15 events in five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Phase 2 involves developing a new nutritional supplement that uses shelf-stable probiotics to reduce induction times in intensive feeding systems, enhancing overall ruminant nutrition. Once developed, this supplement will be tested on both ruminant and non-ruminant livestock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Phase 3, ProAgni will establish a baseline of methane emissions from cattle on a current grain diet, then measure changes after switching to an antibiotic-free ration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, Phase 4 will involve ongoing trials at a farm\/feedlot to monitor antibiotic levels in the soil and water over five generations of cattle, assessing the impact of the antibiotic-free feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
