Penicillins are among the oldest antibiotics and are widely used in veterinary medicine. In general, penicillins are effective, safe and, in many cases, the treatment of first choice. At the same time, increasing antimicrobial resistance and stringent regulations require the responsible use of this antibiotic class. Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) are located within the bacterial cell […]

Following the sunny summer we have enjoyed, one could almost forget how cold and damp autumn can be. These are conditions that contribute to the frequent occurrence of respiratory infections during this season. This is hardly surprising, as the respiratory tract is in direct contact with the external environment and is therefore continuously exposed to […]
Clinical respiratory disease in young cattle has long been a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the dairy, beef, and veal industries. Prompt and appropriate treatment of respiratory problems is therefore routine practice on many farms. However, we all know that treatment success can be variable. The problems rarely disappear completely and often recur […]
Have you ever experienced situations in your work where you felt powerless against symptoms such as lameness in birds and reduced weight gain due to Avian Reoviruses infections, subclinical lesions caused by viral diseases like Infectious Bronchitis or Infectious Bursal Disease or other challenges related to bacterial infections, environmental stressors, metabolic disorders etc.? If so, […]
Helminth infections remain a significant challenge in modern poultry production. Around 100 helminth species are known to affect domestic poultry with nematodes being the most prevalent and economically important. The species most commonly encountered are Ascaridia galli, Heterakis gallinarum and Capillaria spp. The shift toward cage-free and welfare‑friendly systems has increased exposure to parasites, but […]
A distinctive feature of autogenous vaccines is that each vaccine batch is unique. In addition, autogenous vaccines are exempt from marketing authorisation requirements (in Europe). This means that no specific safety and efficacy tests are performed for each individual batch. The tolerability of autogenous vaccines is influenced by a wide range of factors. The antigens […]
As (bovine) veterinarians, we appreciate clarity. We work with protocols, herd treatment plans, vaccination schedules, and so on. This structured approach gives both us and the farmer a sense of order and reliability. However, not every condition can be managed in a strictly protocol‑driven way. Take, for example, the treatment of Udder Cleft Dermatitis (UCD). […]
We are pleased to introduce our new colleague, Sylwia Doner, who joined our International Technical Support Team in February as Technical Support Veterinarian Poultry. With a strong background in poultry and a passion for autogenous vaccines, she brings valuable expertise to this role and will support our team and customers worldwide. Over the past 15 […]
One of the body’s defence systems is the production of bronchial mucus, which is secreted by the goblet cells in the airways (more precisely: the Paneth cells of the alveolar epithelium). This mucus is produced continuously and transported upwards by the cilia of the epithelial cells. Its purpose includes clearing the respiratory tract of dust, […]
