  1. 8th April 2014 An Innovative Approach to Improved Pig Health and Farmer Profitability THE PROBIOTIC CONCEPT Composed by:Eric van den Heuvel Delivered by: Dan Kirschner info@pro-b.ie The Probiotic Concept

  2. *What’s new/innovative*Principles behind it*Product Range/ Application*Benefits Farmer Profitability – profit Centre Pig Welfare*Case Study*Questions Agenda The Probiotic Concept

  3. * Meet my family • Eric van den Heuvel (50 yrs) • Married with Ine (51 yrs) • 3 Children • Gert (24 yrs) • Marieke (18 yrs) • Eveline (12 yrs) The Probiotic Concept

  4. GROTE HEIDE 500 sows, built in 1992 Nistelrode The Probiotic Concept

  5. Innovation in Pig Farming Eric van den Heuvel Dan Kirschner The Probiotic Concept

  6. *Control pathogens – Reduced mortality*Improved Food to Weight conversion – Improved Profitability*Reduced Odours – Better Environment*Reduced Antibiotics – Improve quality Using Probiotic as a Cleaning Agent to: The Probiotic Concept

  7. Principle behind this Probiotic Concept Or How does it work? Eric van den Heuvel Dan Kirschner The Probiotic Concept

  8. Three Core Products In the drinking lines Adding desired bacteria Desired and undesired bacteria In the house Drinking lines cleaner: Probiotic bacteria only • Spray: • Probiotic bacteria only • Cleaner: • Detergent • + • Probiotic bacteria The Probiotic Concept

  9. Old system: Bacteria are being killed Chemical detergent Antibiotics Disinfection Result: Resistance of pathogenic bacteria!!! For example MRSA, ESBL, Ehec Bacteria The Probiotic Concept

  10. We should start controlling bacteria Biofilm In the farm In the drinking lines The Probiotic Concept

  11. Desired and undesired bacteria What happens with the use of disinfectants and/or the use of antibiotics? Lot’s of space to grow Most resistant bacteria remain The Probiotic Concept

  12. Control Bacteria with the Probiotic Concept No room for undesired bacteria to develop Adding desired bacteria Desired and undesired bacteria The Probiotic Concept

  13. Cleaning the drinking lines: Dosing 1:10,000 all drinking lines

  14. Cleaning the house and sow: - remove bulky dirt - foam and wait for a few minutes • wash with high pressure • normally no need for disinfecting • wash the sow (M v A?) Note: Foam without protective clothing The Probiotic Concept

  15. Maintain healthy microflora by spraying the bacteria regularly throughout the farm. Frequent may vary! The Probiotic Concept

  16. Benefits Eric van den Heuvel Dan Kirschner The Probiotic Concept

  17. Visual Results Further more, Hardly No Smell (sorry can’t demonstrate)! The Probiotic Concept

  18. Floor and wall measurementsStafylococcus Aureus: The Probiotic Concept

  19. Drinking lines lab results Kewi Services Sampledate: 05/08/2011 Date Result: 22/08/2011 Barn: Room:3 Report: Animal: Weaned pig Sample taken from: Nipple Description: Flushed: yes Total bacteria count 60.000 CFU/ml Yeast 0 CFU/ml Mould 0 CFU/ml Enterococcus 0 CFU/ml Stafylococcus not shown CFU/ml Streptococcus not shown CFU/ml MRSA not shown CFU/ml E-coli not shown CFU/ml Clostridium not shown CFU/ml BRMO not shown CFU/ml The Probiotic Concept

  20. Technical Results Grote Heide: 500 sows In addition we note improvement in weight gain and FCR The Probiotic Concept

  21. The Probiotic Concept

  22. Better health for human, animal and environment A total concept with many advantages Lower risk to get MRSA and other zoonoses Hardly any antibiotics needed No disinfectants needed Less smell Less dust Reduction of ammonia Less endotoxins The Probiotic Concept

  23. Happy Animals Yield More Managing health with respect for human, animal and environment The Probiotic Concept

  24. Where else is the Probiotic Concept implemented Chicken farms Hotels Nurseries Trains Gyms The Probiotic Concept

  25. Case Study Eric van den Heuvel Dan Kirschner The Probiotic Concept

  26. * Meet my family • Eric van den Heuvel (50 yrs) • Married with Ine (51 yrs) • 3 Children • Gert (24 yrs) • Marieke (18 yrs) • Eveline (12 yrs) The Probiotic Concept

  27. *October 2003 daughter Eveline planned to have 2nd open heart surgery *Due to life threatening situation Eveline had to be operated 3 months later *With pre-operation check: MRSA positive *Result: being sent home and no operation The Probiotic Concept

  28. The beginning of the MRSA problemsWait, wait, wait… The Probiotic Concept

  29. We get two weeks to become MRSA free Wash with Hibiscrub 3x per week Nasal ointment bactroban 2x per day Mouth/throat wash corsodyl 4x per day The Probiotic Concept

  30. Finally 14 days later she can be operated The Probiotic Concept

  31. STRAIN DETERMINATION Every hospital has its own strain. The strain of Eveline was not traceable! Where does this MRSA strain come from? 1st name: NT-MRSA Microbiologist: Dr. Andreas Voss The Probiotic Concept

  32. Samples tested for MRSA.December 200425 pig farmers from study group 5 positive. This is 20% Dutch population lower than 0,1% ! Conclusion: There seems to be a connection between MRSA prevalence and pigs. The Probiotic Concept

  33. NT MRSA Pig MRSA Animal related MRSA ST 398 The Probiotic Concept

  34. The Probiotic Concept
