🎥 Highlights from PIG-PARADIGM at #dpp2025

Catch a glimpse of our PIG-PARADIGM satellite session at the International Symposium on Digestive Physiology of Pigs, where we explored nutritional strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance in pig production.

[AVANT - Alternatives to Veterinary ANTimicrobials @project_avant]

🎉 What a day! On May 6th, the @project_avant final stakeholder event – "Alternatives to antibiotics in pigs: Paving the Way to a Sustainable EU Pig Production" brought together over 70 participants from across the research, veterinary, policy, and farming communities 🐷

💡 The event showcased key results from the AVANT and @pigparadigm projects. Participants explored innovative strategies to reduce antibiotic use — such as high-fibre diets, gut microbiota interventions, and faecal filtrate transplantation — and discussed how these findings can be translated into real-world farming practices.

💬 A big thank you to all the participants and contributors who made this event a success!

[Int. Centre for Antimicrobial Resistance Solutions @ICARS_global]

🗓️ On 9 May 2025, ICARS facilitated a workshop with 45–50 scientists from diverse regions, highlighting the global nature of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

🐖 Hosted by @pigparadigm , the session built practical skills in implementation research for AMR mitigation, focusing on:
🔹 Problem identification
🔹 Stakeholder mapping
🔹 Selecting interventions

🔎 Participants applied these skills to a case study from ICARS’ Colombia project, using role-play and a problem tree to explore AMR challenges in pig production.

🌏 Examples from other ICARS-supported projects sparked rich discussions on tailoring solutions to local contexts.

✅ This workshop reflects ICARS’ commitment to co-developing AMR solutions with LMICs and One Health stakeholders.

Alternatives to Antibiotics in Pigs: Paving the Way to a Sustainable EU Pig Production 🐷🌱

This upcoming May, AVANT & PIG-PARADIGM are hosting a stakeholder event to explore sustainable solutions for pig farming. Discussions will focus on reducing hashtag#antibiotic use, improving animal welfare, and advancing environmentally responsible practices in the sector.

📅 Stay tuned for details on the agenda and speakers.

As AVANT approaches the end of its journey, this event will be an opportunity to reflect on the project’s results and achievements and its impact on the future of sustainable pig farming 👏 🐷
