Santiago, Jul 31, 2019 (Issuewire.com) - Terra Genetix enters a strategic partnership with Acuicola Alas to revolutionize productivity in the agricultural and animal sectors

One of the major challenges in today's food chain productivity is the lack of technologies that would allow a deeper understanding of microbial communities, both pathogenic and beneficial ones. The consequences of this lack of knowledge often lead to inappropriate practices, including the overuse of pesticides in agriculture, or antibiotics in animal feed.

These practices disrupt the natural homeostasis, giving rise to new pathogenic strains, antibiotic/herbicide resistance and reduction in biodiverse systems. This imbalance affects all the food chain, from the farmers' productivity to the final consumer health.

Terra Genetix will empower Acuicola Alas with disruptive technology in order to achieve the following goals towards sustainable agriculture:

  • Efficient pathogen detection and surveillance across the food supply chain.
  • A deeper understanding of the microbial communities relevant to animal and plant productivity.
  • Achieve precise nutrient management.

Through the deployment of Terra Genetix's technology, Acuicola Alas, being the most renowned lab in Chile for smoltification, aims to develop novel and improved services that will become part of the next generation sustainable agro practices.

Terra Genetix's high-resolution genomic assay and innovative bioinformatics tools enable a broad and precise detection of key microbial species and strains, important for soil and animal performance.

Acuicola Alas supports early detection of health risk factors and optimization of productivity at the farm level, especially aquiculture, which makes them an ideal partner of Terra Genetix.
