🚨 One week to go until our annual conference! 📍Le Louise Brussels | 🗓️ 2 July In a time of shrinking budgets, how can Europe finance healthy herds? 🤔 Join farmers, vets, stakeholders, EU decision-makers & the animal health industry in the debate! 👉zurl.co/aNdo5

Kreavet co-organizer #ENVIRANT workshop @inrae-france.bsky.social in Tours on genomics for new diagnostics for worm drug resistance in livestock. @anthelmogrameurope.bsky.social

Fluke is still there. New video by University of Napoli on #SPARC knowledge platform on surveillance of liver fluke using drones, field and animal sampling and laboratory analysis. Collaborationwith @prepare4vbd.bsky.social #FEC #PCR www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMjd... wormsparc.com#kep

And for the last day, we spent a wonderful day visiting the Crete food chain from feed to cheese. Thanks @smarosotiraki.bsky.social and team for organizing.

Fruitful discussions to continue building the European Community of Practice on Sustainable Parasite control Thanks all farmers, vets and researchers contributing to this meaningful #SPARC network. Save the date: 4 December for Final SPARC conference in #Brussels.

#SPARC general meeting kicking off in Crete. With eye for detail by organizer @smarosotiraki.bsky.social et al. as always. Thanks a lot!

Just need everyone to know that the Belgium men's soccer team has new jerseys based on the art of Rene Magritte and this is the official photo shoot

Happy to take part in the #EUPAHW stakeholder committee today for @animalhealtheu.bsky.social and #DISCONTOOLS. Great progress in this big tanker. @eupahw.bsky.social

Op de SPARC-BE meeting brachten we voor de tweede keer de actoren samen rond duurzame parasietencontrole op de #Belgische boerderijen. Dank voor de inzet en bijdragen van alle aanwezigen. Samen zorgen we voor weinig parasieten, rendabele veeteelt en duurzaam gebruik van de geneesmiddelen.

This week, we are honoured to wellcome Dr. Sinan Erez from #Türkiye in our office. While discussing parasite control issues, we had the opportunity to show him the newly restored (copy) of the #Jordaens painting from 1641 in our nearby church in #Rupelmonde. @msinann.bsky.social

About to enter the #EAEVE General Assembly, addressing the heads of veterinary faculties in Europe and beyond and hoping to convince them to make higher use of #DISCONTOOLS in veterinary education programmes.

Sometimes talking and sharing works better than the best medicine. Watch this example from the EU #SPARC project on parasite control in livestock. youtu.be/BeuaO3IHIuQ?... @scimingo.bsky.social @scienceinnovation.ec.europa.eu www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

#Belgium top-ranked in global analysis by Stonehaven group on start-up landscape in #animalhealth. Potential reasons may be the spin-off culture at the universities and innovation support programmes such as VLAIO. @ugentopenscience.bsky.social

European farmers and veterinarians are ready to use more diagnostics and believe in the economic feasibility of sustainable worm control practices. Read about this new #SPARC survey on > 1200 respondents. www.mdpi.com/3893424

Een fijne afsluiter van mijn trip in #Ottawa. Danku STAR IDAZ voor de levendige discussies en nieuwe indrukken.

Introducing upcoming STAR IDAZ work in the field of #animalhealth #diagnostics. Are you an expert in #datascience #engineering or #implementation science interesting in shaping future research agendas in animal health diagnostics? Reach out to the STAR IDAZ secretariat!

Important other messages Dr. Mary Jane Ireland were: - no single country can handle diseases live HPAI, FMD, ASF and many others by its own, therefore initiatives like #STARIDAZ are of such importance - close collaboration between researchers, regulators and industry is key

'Prevention is the cornerstone of antimicrobial stewardship' says CVO Canada @staridaz.bsky.social meeting.

The BIOSECURE project is working to equip decisionmakers in livestock farming with the knowledge & tools to implement evidence-based, cost-effective, & sustainable biosecurity measures.📋Hence, a policy brief was created to present the key findings & recommendations.

📣 New episode of the #BIOSECURE podcast is here! In this episode, we chat with Damian Tago from #FAO to discuss #biosecurity and explore how economics, social sciences, and behavioural insights shape biosecurity outcomes across farms and global systems. Listen now: open.spotify.com/episode/1bbS...

We were honoured to receive a visit of #animalhealth #executive Elke Abbeloos at Kreavet. She explained us about business planning for veterinary vaccine development and how difficult or unlucrative that mostly is.

I am grateful that on today's World #ParasiteAwareness day, I could devote my whole working day on #Parasitology. @cp-trendsparasitol.bsky.social @crpvbd.bsky.social @parasitejournal.bsky.social

#ParasiteAwarenessDay approaching. As a company specialised in #veterinary #parasitology in #livestock, Kreavet has started working also to tackle the growing importance of #parasites in #companion #animals #OneHealth

Wat is het beste idee om goed te slapen op #wereldslaapdag? Voor mij alvast eens goed doorzakken met echte vrienden. #worldsleepday

Looking forward to the first meeting of the @interreg.eu project EcowSentinel where we will strengthen cross-border collaboration between #Flanders, #Wallonia and northern #France on parasitic and respiratory disease in #dairy. cows.

Born and grew up in #Rupelmonde.

We had a productive meeting of the @staridaz.bsky.social secretariat, preparing the last year of activities under the current #EU grant agreement. Had some time to visit #EP as well as a group activity. Thanks @animalhealtheu.bsky.social for the logistical support.

Happy to present @staridaz.bsky.social and contribute on the workshop Research with Impact, together with colleagues from @eupahw.bsky.social, @pirbrightinst.bsky.social, @ec.europa.eu and @animalhealtheu.bsky.social

- Farmers are open to test new things such as the new SWC approaches! Thanks to the speakers and the over 120 participants! 👋

- the KEP does now contain a decent amount of information useful for inspiration on starting with sustainable worm control (SWC) approaches and for education. - the SPARC Web-GIS is live with updated information about anthelmintic resistance data in Europe

Today's SPARC EU webinar finished today. What did we learn today? - the SPARC community is growing with new data and initiatives coming from satellite countries and more associated organisations joining.
