Description
This grant supports research on the transformative role of the microbiome in terrestrial livestock management, emphasizing the interconnected health of animals, humans, and the environment (One Health). Funded projects are expected to investigate microbiome impacts on livestock health, develop integrated monitoring systems, assess microbiome-based interventions, design holistic health models, and create strategies to reduce disease transmission and antimicrobial use. Proposals must foster cross-disciplinary collaboration and build synergies with ongoing EU initiatives, contributing to EU policy goals for sustainable agri-food systems, biodiversity, and antimicrobial resistance.
