Cadavers hydrolisis by Biosecuritas
In Significant Impact Groups: Biosecurity \External biosecurity; Cadavers
Species targeted: Pigs;
Age: Not stated;
Summary:
Hydrolysis of death animals is a system for an intermediate storage of cadavers during at least 6 months. The main advantages are: (i) bacterial and virus control in the environment because hydrolysis produce an inactivation of the majority of the pathogens, and (ii) reduce the carcass collection frequency. It is not needed to collect the death animals once or twice per week, with this system the carcass collection is once or twice per year.

Toward innovative tools of intervention and decision aid to control mammary infections in small ruminants breeding by Cremoux R., Lagriffoul G., Allain C., Alaoui-Sossé L., Astruc J.M., Batut E., Bergonier D., Brun-Lafleur L., Clément V., Couzy C., Foucras. 2018 Innovations Agronomiques : 99-114
In Significant Impact Groups: Pathogen management \ Prudent use AB
Species targeted: Other; Sheep;
Age: Adult;
Summary:
In small ruminants, management tools for the control of mammary infections must be rethought, taking into account their animal specificities as well as management, equipment or work organization. The study integrated the inputs of observation, as a central element of the work of breeders and advisors, and various innovative technological solutions or automated recordings now available or in development as diagnostic tools (molecular bacteriology, cell counts, infrared spectra, clinical examination of the udder and the teat) and in terms of milking ability and milking conditions (use of milk kinetics recordings or vacuum fluctuations and thermography). In a context of antibiotics use reduction, criteria for the selection of animals to be cured (or culled) have been proposed. New phenotypes have been explored for a better understanding of the risk factors associated with milking. Finally, after studying the genetic progress and economic impact, the inclusion of new traits in selection schemes was carried out (somatic cell counts) or proposed to improve the resistance of animals to mammary infections.

Strategies to Combat Antibiotic Resistance in the Wastewater Treatment Plants by Barancheshme, F., & Munir, M. 2018 Frontiers in Microbiology 8: 12-Jan
In Significant Impact Groups: Water
Species targeted: Other;
Age: Not stated;
Summary:
The main goal of this manuscript is to review different treatment strategies and mechanisms for combating the antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) in the wastewater environment. The high amount of antibiotics is released into the wastewater that may promote selection of ARB and ARGs which find their way into natural environments. In order to find solutions to control dissemination of antibiotic resistance in the environment, it is important to (1) study innovative strategies in large scale and over a long time to reach an actual evaluation, (2) develop risk assessment studies to precisely understand occurrence and abundance of ARB/ARGs so that their potential risks to human health can be determined, and (3) consider operating and environmental factors that affect the efficiency of each treatment mechanism.

Age: Young;
Summary:
Soil is one of the biggest reservoirs of microbial diversity, yet the processes that define the community dynamics are not fully understood. Apart from soil management being vital for agricultural purposes, it is also considered a favorable environment for the evolution and development of antimicrobial resistance, which is due to its high complexity and ongoing competition between the microorganisms. Different approaches to agricultural production might have specific outcomes for soil microbial community composition and antibiotic resistance phenotype. Therefore in this study we aimed to compare the soil microbiota and its resistome in conventional and organic farming systems that are continually influenced by the different treatment (inorganic fertilizers and pesticides vs. organic manure and no chemical pest management). The comparison of the soil microbial communities revealed no major differences among the main phyla of bacteria between the two farming styles with similar soil structure and pH.

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.

Summary:
It may not be possible to eradicate lameness entirely, but producers who understand the condition and its many and varied causes can reduce the physical and financial effects of having lame animals on the farm. You need to devise a strategy to suit your situation and employ various management tools to prevent and reduce its effect on your flock. It is important to correctly diagnose the cause of lameness and to only use antibiotics when necessary and effective. This manual describes in detail the different diseases that can cause sheep to go lame. It outlines a five-point plan to tackle these diseases, including culling persistent offenders, quarantining all incomers and treating affected sheep appropriately.

Vaccination schedules in small ruminant farms by D.Lacastaa, L.M.Ferrera, J.J.Ramosa, J.M.Gonzálezb, A.Ortína, G.C.Fthenakisc, 2015 Veterinary Microbiology 181: 34-46
In Significant Impact Groups: Pathogen management \ Vaccination
Species targeted: Sheep;
Age: Adult;
Summary:
Development and implementation of health management plans is the cornerstone of profitable farms; prevention of microbial diseases by means of vaccination is an integral part of such a plan. In every production type and management system in small ruminants, microbial diseases have a major significance, hence their proper control must be based in good health management practices, including use of effective and safe vaccines. The article reviews and discusses vaccination programs and latest advances in development of vaccines against diseases that cause major economic losses in small ruminants.

The use of inulin in poultry feeding: a review. by Bucław M. 2016 Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition 100: 1015-1022
In Significant Impact Groups: Feed / gut health \ Feed additives and supplements
Species targeted: Poultry;
Age: Adult;
Summary:
Since the European Union enforced the ban on antibiotic growth promoters in 2006, the research has been focused on natural feed additives which would have a proven positive impact on both production and animal health. Inulin is both the most commonly used and the most effective probiotic additive. The mechanism of inulin interactions with the avian body is complex, multidirectional and not fully understood. Despite a number of unresolved issues, many authors have demonstrated the positive impact of inulin on the host organism. The reports on inulin effects on the body and performance of poultry are often contradictory, as the effectiveness of this prebiotic is strongly dependent on the type and dose used, and the duration of its administration.
