Internal report on a comparative study where the anthelmintic activity of heather extracts collected across EU is tested in vitro
Gastrointestinal Nematode (GIN) parasitism is the main health challenge small ruminants face with detrimental consequences on their health, welfare, and economic returns. Gastrointestinal parasite control is usually achieved with the use of anthelmintic drugs. Use of anthelmintics is strictly regulated in the organic sector. However, due to the global spread...

Increasing crop diversification with flower strips to improve natural pest control and pollination
Conventional pest control based on the use of synthetic insecticides is very effective, however, this has important negative effects on the environment such as the loss of farmland biodiversity, especially in the group of invertebrates, including many beneficial organisms. Another key problem is the presence of insecticide residues in surface...
