COP 30 e antibióticos: A resposta do Brasil ao mundo

This live stream from the CMC - Centro Multiplicador de Capacitação Agro channel, presented by Paulo César, focuses on the replacement of antibiotics and ionophores with the natural additive Fator LM+ in Brazilian livestock farming and the impacts of this on the international scenario (especially with a view to COP 30). Here are the main points covered in the live stream: 1. International Context and COP 30 [00:20] The presenter recounts his participation in COP 30, where the world questioned the use of antibiotics in animal feed in Brazil. Countries such as Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, the United States, and those in Europe have already banned this use, considering it an outdated practice. The proposal presented was that Brazil has the technology to eliminate these antibiotics through natural additives. 2. The Problem of Antimicrobial Resistance [04:55] The indiscriminate use of antibiotics as growth promoters in animal feed generates superbugs. Public Health: Resistance developed in animals can be transferred to humans, compromising the effectiveness of medical treatments [09:29]. Animal Health: Excessive use means that, in real cases of disease (such as mastitis or pneumonia), medications no longer have an effect, leading to the death of animals [03:33]. 3. The Solution: LM+ Factor [10:09] Futura Biotec developed LM+ Factor, an additive composed of essential oils, organic acids, prebiotics, probiotics, and tannins. Primary Benefits: Modulates rumen flora, increases fatty acid production, reduces methane production, and controls metabolic acidosis [47:18]. Secondary/Tertiary Benefits: Improves weight gain and feed conversion, increases immunity, helps control flies, ticks, and even papillomas (warts) [48:09]. 4. Sustainability and Gas Emissions [23:01] The live stream highlights research conducted in partnership with USP and other institutions that proves the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Efficiency: "Pure Grain" (Baby Beef) diets with LM+ Factor produce meat with lower methane emissions per kilogram produced [29:24]. Waste: Animals in high-grain systems defecate less and make better use of nutrients (up to 99.4% of starch), resulting in a more sustainable system [40:43]. 5. Importance of Management [12:06] Paulo César emphasizes that the product alone does not work miracles if management is poor. Animal Comfort: Heat stress and lack of electrolytes (such as common salt on hot days) can lead to acidosis, regardless of the additive used [14:28]. Environment: It is demonstrated that animals in clean and comfortable locations gain significantly more weight than those in muddy areas, even when eating the same diet [21:07]. 6. Practical Results [32:06] The CMC farm is cited as an example, producing approximately 2,000 steers on just 12 hectares, without the use of ionophore antibiotics for three years, using only Fator LM+ technology. Conclusion: The video advocates for high-performance livestock farming that is ethical, sustainable, and antibiotic-free, positioning Brazil as a leader in animal nutritional technology [49:11]. Summary in English The live stream discusses the replacement of ionophore antibiotics with a natural additive called Fator LM+ in Brazilian livestock. The speaker highlights that global markets (EU, USA, and neighboring South American countries) have already banned antibiotics as growth promoters due to antimicrobial resistance, which poses a significant threat to public health. Key highlights include: Technology: Fator LM+ uses essential oils and organic acids to modulate rumen flora, improving weight gain and feed conversion without chemicals. Sustainability: Research with USP shows that "Puro Grão" (Pure Grain) diets significantly reduce methane emissions and waste production, aligning with COP 30 environmental goals. Management: The speaker emphasizes that animal welfare and proper electrolyte balance (handling heat stress) are as crucial as the nutritional product itself. Summary in Spanish The transmission focuses on the replacement of ionophoric antibiotics with the natural additive Fator LM+ in Brazilian livestock. The speaker explains that, before the demands of COP 30, Brazil must adapt to international standards that prohibit the use of antibiotics as growth promoters to prevent the creation of superbugs. The main points are: Innovation: The Fator LM+ combines essential oils and prebiotics to improve animal health, control acidosis and increase immunity naturally. Environmental Impact: Scientific studies are presented that demonstrate that high-efficiency diets reduce methane emissions and waste excretion, making meat production more sustainable. Zootechnical Management: It should be noted that success depends on animal well-being and adequate management of water and thermal stress, and the use of supplements in the soil.
