In the heart of Italy, in the Reggio Emilia province, VikingGenetics distributor Genesi Project is determined to enhance the quality of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Since 1997, they have championed dairy crossbreeding in the country since 1997 and are committed to reducing inbreeding. Claudio Mariani, a business partner in the company, says compromised herd health shows the importance of diverse genetics to boost Parmesan production. Claudio believes ProCROSS crossbred cows are the answer. These cows yield milk with the right properties for cheese production and bring other economic improvements: enhanced feed efficiency, excellent health and fertility, and the free benefits of heterosis.

Discover how CARINA is revolutionizing agriculture with LINNA®️! 🌱💡 CARINA PROJECT is transforming agriculture with the support of the European Union and the Horizon Europe program. We focus on sustainable and diversified agricultural systems, with an emphasis on oilseed crops such as #carinata and #camelina. How do we achieve this? With LINNA®️, our innovative computational platform. LINNA®️ combines artificial intelligence algorithms, systems biology, computational biology, bioinformatics, and molecular biology to accelerate the development of natural and sustainable solutions. At CARINA, LINNA®️ is our key tool. We use it to discover unexplored bioactive compounds in nature and predict new activities for bioherbicides. For example, we have found pelargonic acid, a powerful bioherbicide derived from carinata oil! Our hyperspectral camera and DNA sequencing provide detailed data on the candidates' impact on plants, from leaf color to photosynthetic activity. These data, analyzed by LINNA®️, guide us in developing more efficient and sustainable bioherbicides.

🌾 Barilla Group and Horta place the quality of durum wheat at the center of their work The Demo Days event has just concluded at our Ravenna headquarters, in collaboration with Barilla. During the meeting, we presented the results of continuous work aimed at improving the durum wheat supply chain. The outcomes of the experimental trials, focused on fertilization, crop protection, variety trials, and crop rotations, were showcased. These results demonstrate Horta’s ongoing commitment to applied scientific research in the field. It was also emphasized how these trials are fundamental in making the DSS granoduro.net increasingly precise, offering more reliable and sustainable solutions for the entire supply chain. 🧑🏽‍🌾 Barilla, always committed to ensuring the best agricultural practices for its supply chain members, reiterated the importance of these experimental trials and the granoduro.net DSS. These tools are essential for improving quality, increasing productivity, and reducing environmental impact. #sustainabily #agtech #barilla #agriculture #dss #durumwheat #regenerativeagriculture

👨‍🌾 Italian regulators have granted Ecovelex regulatory approval for the 2025 growing season, extending access to maize seeds coated with our sustainable seed treatment for Italian farmers. As more and more conventional seed treatments and pesticides face regulatory scrutiny and withdrawal from the market, today’s news comes as a welcome relief to many farmers who depend on treated seeds to safely repel birds from their fields and protect crop yields.

🇮🇹 From our team in Italy 🇮🇹 Thrips Control for Late Summer, Early Autumn - Alessandro Aquino The time of year we are in now, late summer - early autumn, represents a key moment for #thrips control. Frankliniella occidentalis, a widely distributed species, present on many floral and #ornamental crops, reproduces rapidly even after the summer period, when conditions remain favorable. Not only the biological characteristics of the insect, but also the rapid change in climatic conditions in the last years, contribute to increasing the risk associated with the presence and spread of #thrips. Effective control of the insect at this stage is of even greater importance in relation not only to short-term effects but also to long-term effects.

These are Flavio Tidona's, from the Centro di zootecnia e acquacoltura (ZA) of the Consiglio per la ricerca in agricoltura e l'analisi dell'economia agraria (CREA), main takeaways from his presentation at the IDF Cheese Science and Technology Symposium in Bergen, Norway. 👉 Soft cheeses can be considered among the most perishable cheese categories, with a high risk of spoilage 👉 Bioprotective cultures can be added to control the proliferation of undesired microrganisms, as long as they do not interfere with cheesemaking and the sensory properties of the final products. 👉 In Challenge tests, bioprotective cultures belonging to Lactococcus lactis were able to limit the proliferation of target spoilage bacteria until the end of shelf-life. 👉 The choice of the suitable protective culture depends on cheeses charactistics and on the contaminating microorganism to be controlled. #IDFCheese2024 #WeAreDairy #ProudToBeDairy
