Nowadays, scale-up intensive pig farming can increase profitability, but it also exacerbates environmental pollution such as the contamination caused by the disordered discharge of manure and sewage. China, as the largest pig-breeding country globally, dominates 48.4% of worldwide pork output. Pig rearing is shifting from free-range to specializati...

Our present study showed that dietary supplementation with feed fermented by Lactobacillus could promote the growth performance of pigs, regulate the microbiota, and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. It could prevent the accumulation of toxic substances and reduce odor emission from pig feces, thereby reducing environmental pollution. In addi...
Ce mémoire est le résultat d’un travail d’analyse des systèmes de production sur le territoire de l’intercommunalité de Questembert. Ce diagnostic agraire est une réponse à la demande de Questembert Communauté dans le cadre de la mise en place de son Plan Climat sur la période 2021-2026. L’objectif était d’apporter un éclairage sur les dynamiques a...

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are a significant contributor to the global antibiotic resistance crisis, which is predicted to kill more people than cancer by 2050. Livestock production is a contributing factor as it has been one of the fastest-growing industries in the previous century but has the most harmful effects on the environment and hu...

Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales have been increasingly isolated from pigs, highlighting their potential for transmission to humans living and/or working within pig farms. As longitudinal data on the prevalence and the molecular characteristics of such isolates from the high-risk farming population remain scarce, w...

Pig production generates effluents that, when applied to the soil, serve as a source of fertilizer and, when applied without adequate treatment, alter the environmental quality. These wastes contain potential contaminating elements whose excessive application generates an accumulation of materials and can cause toxic effects for plants, such as see...
Simple Summary The processes of globalization, human activities, and the growing popularity of outdoor ecological pork production contribute to increased interactions between domestic pigs and wildlife. Wild animals and pests can carry harmful pathogens that pose a threat to domestic pigs, resulting in economic losses at the local, national, and gl...

Pig farming is integral in developing Kazakhstan's animal husbandry as it has shown rapid growth in profit and a high turnover. Industrial pig products have significant global demand, particularly in China and Russia. However, as pig farming is a small-scale industry with insufficient mechanization and automation in Kazakhstan, the costs have incre...
To mitigate the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), antibiotic use (ABU) in the livestock sector needs to be reduced. In low- and middle-income countries, regulations have shown to be less successful in reducing ABU. Here, a bottom-up approach can complement legal frameworks, which requires an understanding of the drivers for ABU. In thi...
