In Significant Impact Groups: AMU reduction strategies \ Monitoring and surveillance ;Antibiotic use
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.

Milking control is essential to limit clinical mastitis and cells in the milk. The respect of good hygiene practices and milking is essential to prevent teat bacteria from entering the udder quarters and leading to infections.

490 Research report – Mc Pherson – 2019 – Benefits from cutting antibiotic use in dry cows

490 Research report
Benefits from cutting antibiotic use in dry cows by Mc Pherson L. 2019 British Dairying 2019: 50-52
In Significant Impact Groups: Pathogen management \ Managing sick animals; Targeted use of antibiotics; Prudent use AB
Species targeted: Dairy;
Age: Not stated;
Summary:
Selective Dry Cow Therapy (SDCT) is becoming more common on many dairy farms in response to increasing pressure to use antibiotics responsibly in agriculture, as well as the demands from milk buyers and supermarkets. Trials have shown that cows with no evidence of existing infection within the udder can be successfully dried off with only a teat sealant. The use of antibiotic dry cow therapy can then be targeted to only those cows with evidence of infection at dry off—usually indicated by a high somatic cell count in late lactation.
