At the current birth rate, experts predict we will reach more than 9 billion by 2050. To feed this growing population, we will need to double the amount of food we currently produce. In the case of animal farmers, insects of parasites can be a great impediment in increasing the volume of meat produced and the acceleration of productivity gains.
The farmers of industrial production of chickens, pork or cattle face numerous issues linked to the infestation of their animals and premises by insects:
- Insects transmit diseases and reduce productivity
- Insects are more and more difficult to control due to increased resistance to traditional synthetic pesticides
- Questions are being raised about the safety of traditional synthetic pesticides in the food chain, which has led to new regulations restricting their use in different markets around the world. This leaves farmers few, if any alternatives, for control.

The products deliver several key benefits by relying on nature-derived actives for efficacy:

Effective in controlling the insect population, with up to 90% kill of adults and immatures
Effective on resistant strains – these are insects who have genetically mutated to become resistant to the chemical mode of action of some traditional synthetic pesticide-based active ingredients.
Safety in the delivery of food and for the employees applying these products
Labor savings due to ease of application, including no need to remove animals from premises during application as is required with many products on the market currently

TyraTech’s first focus in animal health will be on livestock and production operations.
