Lifeasible Provides a Series of Antimicrobial Peptides’ Service for Agricultural Developer Lifeasible, with a team of experienced scientists in feed science and animal nutrition, now provides a series of AMP’s services against feed additives to satisfy agricultural developer’s requirements for green health and safety animal additives. Antibiotics are widely used for disease prevention and growth promotion in conventional livestock and poultry production. While antibiotics have successfully treated infections, the emergence and rapid spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria pose a major risk to animal and human health. Now, antibiotic resistance has become a growing problem. It is estimated that by 2050, due to antibiotic-resistant infections, the global human death toll will reach 10 million, which exceeds the current death toll related to different forms of cancer. For this reason, it is urgently needed to develop new antibacterial drugs, such as alternative drugs based on antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). AMPs are produced by a variety of organisms, as a component of innate immunity, responsible for protecting the host against pathogens. AMPs are generally between 12-50 amino acids. They have broad-spectrum antibiotic activity against bacteria, yeasts, fungi and viruses, and have cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities against cancer cells. Currently, AMPs are divided into four major categories based on their secondary structure. The membrane permeability of AMPs is considered to be the main mechanism for killing pathogenic microorganisms or cancer cells. Service at Lifeasible mainly include:
AMPs synthesis service
AMPs activity assay service
AMPs development
AMPs modification and design
Featuring: broad-spectrum, low levels of induced resistance, improving growth performance, promoting nutrients digestibility, and enhancing immune function, AMPs are considered one of the most promising alternatives to conventional antibiotics. “With the goal to help veterinarians or other related researchers to develop best solutions for animal health, we are always enhancing our products portfolio.” Commented Isla, the chief marketing staff at Lifeasible. Besides, Lifeasible also provides animal vaccine, veterinary medicines and animal metabolomics analysis for animal solutions.
