The global trend towards mega-farming not only ensures profitability and higher yields, but there is also an increasing risk of disease. Even in Germany, such mega-farms have up to 65,000 animals. According to an article published in the magazine "Stern", the weekly output is up to 1600 pigs (150 tons).

Since the demand for pork is rising rapidly, more and more mega-farms are coming up. In the new German federal states alone, five new plants with a capacity of 75,000 to 95,000 animals are planned.

The average number of animals held in German stalls is 225.

The U.S. already has farms with 240,000 animals.

The cost of preventive treatment against diseases and epidemics increases with the density of livestock. The global competition is increasing dramatically, since many emerging countries can produce more cheaply unhindered by the European standards on livestock husbandry. Thus, farms in the U.S produce a kilo of pork for € 1.12 - which costs only € 0.76 in Brazil!

In addition to this, there is the ever-growing desire of consumers to be able to buy healthy meat. The resentment to meat that is contaminated with chemicals and drugs is constantly growing.

The preventive or simultaneous treatment of animals with CyberScan could generate significant economic benefits.
