ANIMAL HEALTH VISION CONCEPT
Our elite team of problem solvers consists of veterinarians and microbiologists who develop innovative solutions based on quorum sensing science.
To ensure optimal efficacy of our solutions, our team of farm advisors are trained extensively and supported by our technical team of veterinarians, nutritionists, and researchers.
Our advice is individually tailored to the unique animal health challenges of each farm, resulting in a practical approach and recommendations for the right solutions.
At AHV we take the triple bottom line approach: Transformative animal health, enhanced farm profitability, and progressive environmental stewardship for future generations.
QUORUM SENSING (QS)
When specific bacteria are present in small numbers, their signal molecules are strongly diluted, making performing actions inefficient (Bassler, 2009).
However, when there is a high population density, the signal molecule concentration becomes so high that they regularly bind to receptors on similar bacterial cells (Bassler, 2009).
This way the group knows that an action or attack can be carried out effectively, and can coordinate accordingly (Reading et al., 2005).
An example of this is the coordination of certain bacteria on the teeth, which allows them to form plaque, or in the body, which is called biofilm.
