2. What Are Synthetic Peptides? Small pieces of protein made in the lab Made to copy or improve natural body peptides Used in medicine, vaccines, and animal care

3. Synthetic peptides are lab-made proteins They help in treating, protecting, and improving health Used in humans, animals, and poultry Still improving with new research!

4. How Are They Made? Built step-by-step in the lab using amino acids Common method: Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) Made to be pure, stable, and effective

5. Uses in Humans Medicines for cancer, diabetes, and infections Vaccines (e.g., for viruses) Skin care (anti-aging, healing) Diagnostics (finding diseases

6. Uses in Animals Peptide vaccines for animal diseases Improve animal health and immunity Less use of antibiotics

7. Uses in Poultry Protects chickens from viruses like bird flu Helps them grow better Improves gut health Natural alternative to antibiotics

8. Benefits of Synthetic Peptides Very specific – work only where needed Safer than many drugs Can be changed or improved easily Help reduce antibiotic resistance

9. Challenges Can be expensive to make May not last long in the body Some need special ways to be given (not by mouth)

10. Global Impact Reduced Antibiotic Use in Livestock and Poultry Support for One Health Approach Potential in Combating AMR (Antimicrobial Resistance)

11. Conclusion Synthetic peptides offer a powerful, targeted approach in both human and veterinary medicine . Their role is expanding in disease prevention, treatment, and nutrition . Continued innovation is key to overcoming current challenges.
