Animals' Health Improved
Occamy’s interventions are designed to support One Health Objectives and here’s the four dimensional impact we are able to achieve:
Curbing Zoonosis and Anti Microbial resistance
Animal health lies at the bottom of One Health pyramid. Animals being sensitive are prone to infections and become carriers. Infected/ Diseased animals may spread the disease to other species or the infection also affects milk/ meat productivity , farm economics and leads to quality food shortage specially protein containing foods . Farmers use excessive antibiotics to ensure milk/ meat productivity is not hampered and this leads to antibiotic resistance in humans when they consume such produce. Excessive use of antibiotics also affects animal health at longer run with pregnancy cycles and dry periods being affected the most and therefore the entire lactation. Brucellosis, Foot and Mouth Disease
In our research we have data that has proven Occamy products impact on animal immunity especially against comman

Tackling food security and protein availability
If animal health is improved, zoonosis will reduce significantly but human health should also be strong enough to fight off infections of the emerging kind to avoid being infected or even act as carriers for animal infections. Protein is an important nutritional factor required to build the entire body, immune mechanism and metabolism. Milk is the cheapest and most accessible source of protein and provider of whey concentrates too. WIth the rise of population globally and improved awareness of nutrition after the pandemic, demand for protein is rising. If milk procured has higher protein and calcium, it can fulfill the increasing demands and that too at affordable cost. Quality of milk is defined by nutrition parameters like percentage of fat, solid not fat, protein in the milk and as per FSSAI there are set standards to meet quality marks. India is the largest producer of milk in the world but the proportion of milk exported is poor due to unmatched global quality standards as well as lack of supply for domestic consumption.
In a study performed on 50 cows, Occamy nutraceuticals were fed for 15 days and improvement in milk parameters was observed. The somatic cell count in milk is a reflection of mastitis - an infection of the udders and the acceptable values are 2 lakh cells/ml but as mastitis is prevalent across India, the values are often higher. This count was reduced strikingly just in 15 days and indicates a promising solution for mastitis and indirectly reduces somatic cell counts. As mastitis and internal healing happens due to nutraceuticals, use of antibiotics is automatically avoided and therefore the antibiotic residue is decreased in milk samples too. SCC counts and antibiotic residue are key standards for export viable milk.

Walking toward Green Economy and sustainability
Pelleted feeds require lot of energy input and therefore we have chosen to make animal nutrition in powder form that consumes minimal energy, releases no pollution and has no process that damages the environment. The packaging used is reusable reducing plastic wastage.
All products reduce methane emissions from ruminants by 30-50% depending upon their dietary intake and this is reflected by increased milk / meat output.
Methane is available in the gut of ruminants and if not used by the rumen bacteria, its released through dung or from mouth during rumination.
Methane emission from Indian livestock is estimated to be 12.74 Tg yr–1. 100 out of 721 districts contributes nearly ~40% of total methane.- Aerosol and Air quality research india is the third largest emitter of methane in the world, according to figures published earlier this month by the International Energy Agency, and livestock are responsible for about 48% of all methane emissions in India, the vast majority from cattle - AP news

Curbing zoonosis and antimicrobial resistance
Curbing the infection at animal level is the key.
Animal health lies at the bottom of One Health pyramid. Animals being sensitive are prone to infections and become carriers. Infected/ Diseased animals may spread the disease to other species or the infection also affects milk/ meat productivity , farm economics and leads to quality food shortage specially protein containing foods . Farmers use excessive antibiotics to ensure milk/ meat productivity is not hampered while they are infected and this leads to frequent exposure to antibiotics in humans when they consume such produce resulting in antimicrobial resistance. Excessive use of antibiotics also affects animal health at longer run with pregnancy cycles , dry periods being affected the most affecting the entire lactation. Brucellosis, Foot and Mouth Disease, Mad cow disease are some zoonotic diseases of concern from cattle totally based on immunity.
Our research from testing random samples of blood from cows to study baseline parameters indicates low immunity and health due to excess serum creatinine , bilirubin and low albumin and globulin levels. . These values have significantly improved and reached acceptable levels as per veterinary standards by feeding Occamy Nutraceuticals just for 30 days in a study conducted on actual farms. The data justifies nutraceutical properties of the products- giving health and nutritional benefits.

All products reduce methane emissions from ruminants by 30-50% depending upon their dietary intake and this is reflected by increased milk output in case of milking animals. Methane is available in the gut of ruminants and if not used by the rumen bacteria, is released through dung or from mouth during rumination. The non milking ruminants release more methane than milking ones as the methane in the rumen is underutilized.

Iindia is the third largest emitter of methane in the world, according to figures published by the International Energy Agency, and livestock are responsible for about 48% of all methane emissions in India, the vast majority from cattle-AP news
Our research from our Uttar Pradesh farms have shown increased productivity per animal.Although the per animal methane release is lesser in India than abroad but the number of animals is in millions and their lower productivity makes it worse. Therefore increasing output and reducing the number of animals directly indicates methane emission decrease. From a field study, we observed that - procuring 1000 Litres of milk/day , 206 animals were required ie 4.85 litres average per animal per day whereas after feeding Occamy nutraceuticals, 180 animals were enough to procure the same quantity and increased per day average to 5.5 Litres/animal just in 30 days.

Creating livelihood and impacting lives
Occamy is on a mission to build Bharat and envisages generating employment for at least 1 person each in the 766 districts of India while working on the One Health Objectives. Along with employment generation, our aim is to empower the dairy farmers with increased livelihood. In this journey ,so far our impact has been able to benefit 5000+ farmers with increased return of investments and decreased input costs involved in dairying.
Our study indicates a simple on ground data which demonstrates that if a farmer invests INR 450 with us per animal per month, he/she receives INR 900 minimum in return as a direct increased income due to improved milk quality and quantity. There’s an indirect benefit of around INR 50000 to 80000 rupees per animal due to reduced medicinal costs and improved , timely lactation. The return on investment varies depending on many factors but a comparison in species in reflected here.
