| Helminth infections are a major cause for reduced productivity in livestock, particularly those owned by the poor worldwide. Phytomedicine has been used for eons by farmers and traditional healers to treat parasitism and improve performance of livestock, and many modern commercial medicines are derived from plants. However, scientific evidence on the anti-parasitic efficacy of most plant products is limited regardless of their wide ethnoveterinary usage. Scientific validation of the anti-parasitic effects and possible side effects of plant products in ruminants is necessary prior to their adoption as a novel method for parasite control. A variety of methods has been explored to validate the anthelmintic properties of such plant remedies, both in vivo... |

| Parasitism is well recognized as a major challenge to the health and welfare of organic livestock. Although previous projects have largely delivered the underpinning scientific research, progress in the implementation of control strategies has been hindered by: i) limitations of research at farm systems level, ii) lack of clear cost-benefit analysis and iii) difficulties in reaching and educate the appropriate stakeholders. The overall objective of this project, which brings together nine academic partners from eight countries, is to generate information and tools that can be readily used by organic farmers to improve animal health and welfare; we aim to achieve this by targeting the interface between research and dissemination. In the UK, organic farmers... |

| Organic farmers adhere to high standards in producing quality food while protecting the environment. However, organic farming needs to improve continuously to keep meeting its ambitious objectives. The project ‘Replacement of Contentious Inputs in Organic Farming Systems’ (RELACS) will foster the development and adoption of cost-efficient and environmentally safe tools and technologies to further reduce the use of external inputs on organic farms across Europe as well as in Non EU Mediterranean countries. Project partners will provide scientific support to develop fair and implementable EU rules to improve current practices in organic farming. Farm advisory networks in 11 European countries will reach out to farmers to ensure effective dissemination and... |
