Application of mycological biotechnology to the “One Health” concept, the central theme of talk II, which will take place on Thursday, July 28 at 10 a.m. and in which FEUGA and Hifas Vet will participate.
The “One Health” initiative, promoted by the World Health Organization, seeks to develop strategies to achieve optimal health for people, animals and the environment. In this context, mushrooms play a prominent role thanks to their numerous beneficial properties in each of these three elements.
The Hifas Group (Hifas da Terra, Hifas Veterinary and Hifas Foresta), has spent years exploring these beneficial properties of fungi and, through innovative biotechnological techniques, extracting their full potential. Led by Esteban Sinde, CEO of the company, we will delve into the uses and benefits of mushrooms in a wide range of fields, as well as the biotechnological techniques used.
Within the framework of the MICOALGA-FEED project, Hifas Veterinary is the entity in charge of the selection and production of fungi that, thanks to their immunomodulatory, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory potential, allow, through their addition to poultry feed, to reduce the use of antibiotics in livestock. Precisely, Ángel Sanabria, from FEUGA, will be in charge of presenting the MICOALGA-FEED innovation project.
– When: Thursday, July 28, at 10am.
– Where: through Teams (link will be sent upon registration)
– Duration: 1h
– Free registrations: https://forms.gle/MNZ4sya5bXd7iVUW6
MICOALGA-FEED is an innovation project 80% co-financed by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) of the European Union and 20% by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, within the framework of the National Rural Development Program 2014-2020. The General Directorate of Rural Development, Innovation and Agrifood Training (GDRDIAT) is the authority in charge of the application of these aids. Total project budget: 524,847.66€. Total grant: 505,519.66€.
