Summary:
RefA²vi: Towards the formalization of a French professional reference network on the use of antibiotics atpoultry farms level.Currently poultry production organizations are committed to defining an indicator monitoring the reasoned use of antibiotics. That is why, the French Poultry Institute (ITAVI), with the French poultry’s inter-professional organizations and Anses formalize a professional network to collect computerized data on use of antibiotics at farm level (RefA²vi project). In 2014 and 2015, two surveys allowed collecting data from poultry farms in all species and production types. This work aimed to discuss then to choose with the professional actors, the more pertinent indicators for all poultry productions. Finally, partners imagined a scheme of network organization, which have been tested during a pilot phase. The computerized data on use of antibiotics recorded by poultry production organizations will be sent to CIPC-CIDEF- CICAR for anonymization and aggregation, in order to send them at ITAVI, which will calculate the exposure indicators following a proven method defined with Anses. ITAVI will ensure the network’s animation (newsletter, organization of steering committee meetings).

Species targeted: Poultry;
Age: Different for different species;
Summary:
The RefA²vi network is a French national network whose objective is to produce regular references on antibiotic exposure indicators calculated on the basis of a common method and measured for each poultry species, in particular turkeys and broilers. This approach is complementary to the ALEA published each year by Anses-ANMV. The methods used to calculate the RefA²vi indicators are based on the ALEA method and can be adapted for each species.

Aromam Field trial: Efficiency of an essential oil-based mixture to cure mild and severe clinical mastitis in lactating dairy cows by Guiadeur, M., Ballot, N., Bellenot, D., Hardit, V., Sulpuci, P., Martin, G., Lamarle, F., Jouet, L. and A. Fauriat 2020 Rencontres Recherches Ruminants 2020: Session Santé
In Significant Impact Groups: Specific alternatives \ Other
Species targeted: Dairy;
Age: Adult;
Summary:
A study evaluated an essential oil mixture for the treatment of bovine mild and moderate clinical mastitis in dairy cattle. In dairy herds from Brittany, Pays de la Loire or Auvergne Rhône Alpes, a total of 131 clinical cases were randomly assigned to essential oil (n = 72) or antibiotic (n = 63) group. Essential oil mixture was applied on infected quarter during 14 consecutive milking. Results showed that clinical cure rate was lower in the essential oil group than in antibiotic group (72.3 % vs 88.1 %). Cure rate based on two consecutive individual SCC < 300 000 cell/ml after occurrence was higher in essential oil group only in Brittany, Pays de la Loire (95.0 % vs 60.0 %). Bacteriological cure rate was lower in essential oil group compare to antibiotic group only in Auvergne Rhône Alpes (96.0 % vs 53.4 %). In the growing context of antimicrobial resistance, results showed that there is an interest to consider essential oils as a complement to antibiotics to evaluate new treatment strategies of dairy cows mammary infections.

Preconditioning systems: a solution to decrease respiratory diseases in young bulls fattening units? by Vanbergue, E., Assie, S., Mounaix, B., Guiadeur, M., Aupiais, A., Cebron, N., Meyer, G., Philibert, A., Maillard, R. and G. Foucras 2020 Rencontres Recherches Ruminants : 25°
In Significant Impact Groups: Pathogen management \ Vaccination, Feed / gut health
Species targeted: Beef;
Age: Young;
Summary:
Preconditioning of young bulls is implemented to prevent bovine respiratory diseases occurence in fattening units. A control/case study was set up in nine cow-calf operations and four fattening units to compare preconditioned and control cattle in a French context. Preconditioning protocol consisted of weaning calves 50 days before sale, with adaptation to solid feedstuff and housing. A trivalent vaccine protocol (BRSV, BPI3, Mannheimia haemolytica) and vitamins and micronutrients supplementation was also implemented in order to improve immunity to respiratory diseases. Contrary to what was expected, diseases incidence and lung lesion score were higher for preconditioned young bulls compared to controls. These results could be explained by the epidemiology context of fattening units, poor housing conditions in cow-calf herds and individual immune competence, in relation to immune status and previous vaccination. Pathogens detected in fattening units (BCoV, Pasteurella multocida…) were essentially different from the vaccine valences. This study identifies critical parameters for the settlement of preconditioning programs, and highlights the necessary adaptation to local conditions and husbandry factors.

French dairy cows’ dry period: state of play 2015-2017 by Roussel, D. Ballot, N., Gautier, P., Bore, R. and J. Jurquet 2020 Rencontres Recherches Ruminants 2020: Session Santé
In Significant Impact Groups: Prudent use AB \ Farmer; Pathogen management
Species targeted: Dairy;
Age: Adult;
Summary:
This study deals with the dry period of dairy cows. Its objective is to describe the current practices of French dairy farmer and to identify their needs as well as those of advisers in terms of technical advice on this phase of production cycle. It is based on an analysis of the national database of 2,914,921 dry cows from 2015 to 2017 and on two surveys. The first one, online, was conducted among 130 advisors from the main French dairy regions (73,8% advisers, 17,5% team supervisors and 8,7% veterinarians). The second, on farm, involved 79 farmers in Western and Eastern France. From 2015 to 2017, the median duration of the dry period was 63 days. The median milk production before drying off amounts to 16.9 kg / d with 9% of the cows over 25 kg / d. Epidemiological data show that the average new infection index in 2017 is 12% and the recovery index is 77%. But there are strong differences in results between farms which seem more linked to a herd effect than to individual effects (milk production/ cell count / drying period / …). Drying off and dry period practices are very diverse: five major treatment protocols to dry off are used. In addition, 78% of farmers use an antibiotic for drying off and 50% practice selective treatment. Similarly, 138 feeding programs are used, i.e. 1.7 per farm on average. Udder infections and milk fevers are the 2 main peripartum problems cited by 72% and 54% of farmers, respectively. The concerns of advisors relate primarily to: (i) feeding management (21%), treatment strategy (20%) and the decrease in milk production (19%) before dying off, ( ii) on dry-off protocols (47%) on the day of dry-off and (iii) on feeding and preparation for calving (39%) Farmers express similar themes. However, the nature of the information requested differs between farmers and advisors: farmers request more protocols whereas advisors ask for more basis of understanding.

Perceptions, fears and motivations for the use of complementary and alternative medicines: the results of a national survey of specialized breeders, technicians and vets in the veal calves by Chanteperdrix, M. and S. Meurisse 2020 Rencontres Recherches Ruminants 2020: Session Santé
In Significant Impact Groups: Specific alternatives \ Pathogen management
Species targeted: Beef;
Age: Young;
Summary:
The second EcoAntibio Plan promotes the use of alternative therapies, with more incentive than regulatory measures. Today, we have little information about the perceptions and knowledge of these medicines by actors in the veal sector. Therefore, a national survey, funded by FAM, was conducted among specialized breeders, technicians and veterinarians to identify the perceptions, fears and motivations for the use of complementary and alternative medicines. More than half of breeders already declare that they use them on their farms, mainly for the care of digestive and respiratory disorders. The main motivations for using these medicines are on the one hand a desire to reduce the use of antibiotics and on the other hand personal convictions. However, the lack of information and support is hampering professionals. Solutions must be found in the training of breeders, technicians and veterinarians who are many to express this need.
