174 Opinions of veterinarians on antimicrobial use in farm animals in Flanders and the Netherlands (Research paper – Postma, 2016)

174 Research paper – Postma – 2016 – Opinions of veterinarians on antimicrobial use in farm animals in Flanders and the Netherlands

Prudent use AB \ Veterinarian; AMU reduction strategies
Species targeted: Pigs; Poultry; Dairy; Beef; Sheep; Other;
Age: Young; Adult;
Summary:
This study aimed to assess opinions of veterinarians from the Netherlands and Flanders regarding antimicrobial use and resistance issues in farm animals. A survey was answered by 174 and 437 veterinarians from Flanders and the Netherlands, respectively. The most important cause for high antimicrobial use in farm animals was poor climate conditions. Flemish veterinarians also regarded insufficient biosecurity measures and farmers’ mentality as important factors, while the Dutch ranked insufficient immunity of young animals and economic considerations of farmers as major causes. Most Dutch vets supported the policy to halve veterinary antimicrobial use, while only about 33% of Flemish vets supported this policy. Improvements in housing and climate conditions, biosecurity measures and control of specific infectious diseases were considered important in reducing antimicrobial use. To reduce antimicrobial use in farm animals, some approaches might be applicable in both countries, but cultural, political and societal differences should also be considered.

169 ToolsChecklists – Tree hedge for cows by Vanla

In Significant Impact Groups: Feed / gut health \
Species targeted: Dairy;
Age:
Summary:
Cows find their own pharmacy in a tree hedge. Eating the leaves of the trees, shrubs and herbs gives them extra and varied plant substances, minerals, trace elements and vitamins. It has already been shown that trees, shrubs and herbs have a medicinal value. The leaves are a natural – and beloved – source of protein, minerals, and health-promoting substances, such as tannin.

168 Industry Innovation – PIA vaccin by MSD Animal Health

Pathogen management \ Vaccination
Species targeted: Pigs;
Age: Young; Adult;
Summary:
Vaccination is an adequate means to prevent and reduce problems with PIA. MSD Animal Health has successfully completed many years of work to achieve an effective PIA vaccine. The vaccine can be administered from the age of 3 weeks and provides protection from 4 weeks up to 21 weeks after vaccination. PIA leads to loss of growth, vaccination reduces this. Vaccination also results in fewer deaths, lower infection pressure and less diarrhoea caused by Lawsonia infection. The vaccination has already proven positive in practice.

157 Industry Innovation – Excential Butycoat by Orffa

SIG: Feed / gut health \ Feed additives and supplements
Species targeted: Poultry;
Age: Adult;
Summary:
Banning preventive in-feed antibiotics has increased risks for outbreaks of necrotic enteritis, predisposing from coccidiosis and overloads of nutrients in the intestine. Coated butyrate can be a valuable in-feed additive for broilers to prevent feed intake reduction as a consequence of coccidiosis and necrotic enteritis (NE). Different dietary strategies can be used to fight coccidiosis. Some products act antimicrobially against Eimeria species, e.g. essential oils and herbal extracts. Other products beneficially modulate the immune status of the chicken, whereas prebiotics and probiotics improve microflora to reduce the chance of secondary infections. The immunological challenge from coccidiosis and C.perfringens, makes the barrier function of the gut layer extremely important. Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid that enhances the chickens’ intestinal functioning, promoting development, maintaining the barrier functioning and acts as anti-inflammatory agent. Proper coating results in butyrate reaching both upper and lower parts of the intestine to exert its positive effects.

129 Research report – Roca – 2015 – The global threat of antimicrobial resistance_science for intervention

AMU reduction strategies \ Monitoring and surveillance; Antibiotic use; Prudent use AB
Species targeted: Other;
Age: Different for different species;
Summary: The current threat of antimicrobial resistance plus the need to control it and find alternatives to currently used antimicrobial products has prompted the different stakeholders to take action in integrating research and public health, maintaining and promoting national and international antimicrobial resistance (AMR) research communities. In summary, the following measures can be taken to prevent emergence and spread of AMR: rational antibiotic’s use, implementing infection control measures at farm level, developing strategies to mitigate the risks for environment of antimicrobial residues, having rapid tests for diagnosis of infections, promotion of research on prevention and surveillance of AMR and developing novel antimicrobial strategies and agents, improving general and public awareness of responsible antibiotic use and risks associated to increased AMR.
