In Significant Impact Groups:
Species targeted: Pigs; Poultry; Dairy; Beef; Sheep;
Summary:
The intention of this document is to contribute to the maintenance of antimicrobial effectiveness by providing a descriptive framework of good practice. The implementation of the key aspects of this framework is compatible with its adaptation to the particular conditions of each Member State. In this way a coordinated and integrated approach can be achieved across the EU, but tailored to the specific needs of each Member State. The EPRUMA initiative is intended as a complement to Integrated Agriculture*. with regard to the rational use of agricultural means of production, as set out in the European Framework for Integrated Agriculture (EISA).

Comparing Farm Biosecurity and Antimicrobial Use in High-Antimicrobial-Consuming Broiler and Pig Farms in the Belgian–Dutch Border Region by Caekebeke, N., Jonquiere, F. J., Ringenier, M., Tobias, T. J., Postma, M., van den Hoogen, A., Houben, M. A. M., Velkers, F. C., Sleeckx, N., 2020 Veterinary Science 7: 11-Jan
In Significant Impact Groups: Biosecurity \Internal biosecurity; Animal
Species targeted: Pigs; Poultry;
Age: Young;
Summary:
On average, more biosecurity measures were implemented on Dutch farms, compared to Belgian farms in both animal species. In addition, more opportunities were found to increase the level of internal biosecurity compared to external biosecurity in both countries. There was a substantial difference in AMU between farms from both countries. In both poultry and pig production, the majority of antimicrobials used were extended-spectrum penicillins. Compared to Belgian farms, Dutch poultry farms used high amounts of (fluoro)quinolones (1 and 15% of total AMU, respectively). None of the production parameters between broiler farms differed significantly, but in pig production, weaning age in Belgian farms (median: 23) was lower than in Dutch farms (median: 27). These results indicate considerable room for improvement in both countries and animal species. Farm-specific preventive strategies can contribute to lowering the risk for animal disease and hence the need for AMU.

Antibiotic use and resistance in animals: Belgian initiatives by Daeseleire, E. De Graef, E., Rasschaert, G., De Mulder, T., Van den Meersche, T., Van Coillie, E., Jeroen Dewulf, J. and M. Heyndrickx 2016 Drug Testing and Analysis 8: 549–555
In Significant Impact Groups: Prudent use AB \ Veterinarian
Species targeted: Pigs; Poultry; Dairy; Beef; Sheep;
Age: Not stated;
Summary:
The widespread use of antibiotics in animals is causing concerns about the growing risk for development and the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Antibiotic consumption is higher in animals than in humans as reported in a joint publication of EFSA (European Food Safety Agency), ECDC (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control), and EMA (European Medicines Agency) using data from 2011 and 2012. Both in humans and animals, positive associations between the consumption of antibiotics and resistant bacteria are observed. Responsible use of antibiotics in humans and animals should therefore be promoted. In this paper some general aspects of antibiotic resistance such as microbiological versus clinical resistance, intrinsic versus acquired resistance, resistance mechanisms, and transfer of resistance are briefly introduced.

398 Research paper – Cui – 2019 -Technological tools for infection detection Case studies with the SOMO respiratory distress monitor in Belgian pig farms

In Significant Impact Groups: Precision Livestock Farming & Early detection \ Sensor technology
Species targeted: Pigs;
Age: Not stated;
Summary:
In a demonstration project in Flanders (Belgium), the SOMO Respiratory Distress Monitor of SoundTalks, was installed in 10 commercial fattening pig houses showing an automatic alarm when respiratory problems occurred. The warnings of the SOMO-system were analysed against the observations of the farmer. In most cases (74%) the alert situation was confirmed by the farmers inspection, and in 17% of the cases farmers started a medical treatment based on the alerts. At the time of the alert the number of sick animals was still low and the behaviour (activity, feed intake) of the animals still normal in most cases (86%). It was confirmed by the farmers that the use of the SOMO system helped to reduce the amount of medication, because treatments were done in an early stage of infection.

397 Research paper – Rutten 2019 – Field trial to demonstrate the intelligent dairy assistantIDA system on dairy farms

In Significant Impact Groups: Precision Livestock Farming & Early detection \ Sensor technology
Species targeted: Dairy;
Age: Adult;
Summary:
Connecterra’s Intelligent Dairy Assistant (IDA) is a novel Internet of Things based on a management support system for dairy farms. IDA uses sensor technology, cloud computing and artificial intelligence to support dairy farmers with insights on oestrus and health management. The IDA system uses feedback on historic data to improve its underlying models and farmers may learn from using the system. The experiences indicate that oestrus detection can be improved, and health monitoring can help to start early treatment and thereby reduce the use of antibiotics. For milk production the results are inconclusive as the groups with and without IDA were not balanced on milk yield before the field trial started. Based on the limited size of the experiment it could not be proven significant effects or causal relationships.

396 Research report – Vranken – 2017 – Precision livestock farming for pigs

In Significant Impact Groups: Precision Livestock Farming & Early detection \ Sensor technology
Species targeted: Pigs;
Age: Not stated;
Summary:
In the precision livestock farming (PLF) concept, sensors and algorithms translate the measured animal responses into key indicators for optimal performance, improved animal welfare, and farm sustainability. The output of the sensors (e.g., activity measures with a camera or sound measures with a microphone) is related to animal-based welfare and health indicators such as aggression or respiratory diseases. When sensor signals start to deviate from their expected values, alerts are given to the farmer. In this way the farmer can take an immediate action before the detected change in animal response negatively affects the production performance. These actions range from solving technical problems such as a blocked feeding line, adjusting control settings in the climate and feed controller, etc. In most cases, a preventive medical treatment prevents the further spreading of respiratory diseases in the pen, and the use of antibiotics can be reduced or even precluded.

371 Research report – EuroDairy – 2018 – Practical strategies to reduce antimicrobial use in dairy farming

In Significant Impact Groups: AMU reduction strategies \ None
Species targeted: Dairy;
Age: Adult; Young;
Summary:
This report highlights the extent of quantitative reduction which can be achieved, both in overall antimicrobial use, and especially of Critically Important Antibiotics (CIA’s) whose efficacy must be preserved for use in human medicine. EuroDairy gathered intelligence through its partners and wider networks, organized a cross border workshop, farmer exchange visits, technical webinars, and linked to regional Operational Groups focussed on reducing antibiotics. The only way to sustainably reduce the risk of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is through an integrated approach to disease control, which sustainably improves animal health. Hotspots for antibiotic use are treatment for mastitis (including dry cow therapy), lameness and foot health, respiratory disease and young stock health.

368 Research report – De Grande – 2020 – Dietary zinc source affects performance and intestinal health in broilers

In Significant Impact Groups: Feed / gut health \ Feed additives and supplements
Species targeted: Poultry;
Age: Young;
Summary:
In supplementation of zinc as a complex with amino acids has larger effects on gut health of broilers compared to an inorganic source such as ZnSO4. Especially in periods of stress larger effects are observed regarding feed conversion, gut morphology and meat quality. An optimal gut health is crucial for healthy growth of broilers. Several factors such as high environmental temperatures, put more stress on the health and integrity of the gut. Supplementation of the Zinc can be of support. Zinc is an essential trace element that is known to be part of several biological processes. Still, its supplementation can be done with various sources. This study investigated whether the source of Zinc, either organic or inorganic, has an effect on the gut morphology, technical performance and meat quality of broilers. The best results were attained when supplementing in feed with an organic zinc-amino acid complex, especially in stressful periods.
