Result description
FFT involves administering a filtered solution derived from the faeces of clinically healthy donor sows to newborn piglets, typically between birth and six days of age. As part of the AVANT project’s broader objective to reduce antimicrobial use in livestock systems, this method offers a promising microbiota-based strategy to improve piglet health and resilience during early life.
Addressing target audiences and expressing needs
- To raise awareness and possibly influence policy
We aim to explore opportunities for further R&D funding and attract interest from potential collaborators for new research and innovation initiatives aimed at advancing microbiome-based interventions in livestock health.
- International Organisations (ex. OECD, FAO, UN, etc.)
- Other Actors who can help us fulfil our market potential
- Research and Technology Organisations
R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
The result is TRL 6–7, validated in EU pig farms. The complexity of the procedure, combined with biosecurity risks limits its immediate transferability to production settings.The scientific knowledge and data on the FFT imust inform and influence the regulatory environment so that such microbiome-based interventions can become adoptable under future veterinary product legislation.
