Summary: Infographic – Ecoantibio: reducing the use of veterinary antibiotics:
The Ecoantibio plan has enabled a reduction of 39% in veterinary antibiotics in 6 years , all animal sectors combined. The 1st ecoantibio plan 2012-2016 aimed to reduce the use of antibiotics in animals by 25% in 5 years; The 2nd ecoantibio plan 2017-2021 aims to consolidate this result by continuing efforts; 2 million euros per year are devoted to research projects, training and awareness campaigns.

29 Could probiotics be the panacea alternative to the use of antimicrobials in livestock diets (Research paper; Cameron, 2019)

Significant Impact Group(s): Feed / gut health \ Feed additives and supplements; Specific alternatives
Species targeted: Pigs; Poultry; Dairy; Beef; Sheep;
Age: Different for different species;
Outcome Parameter(s): Ruminant feed conversion ratio; Milk production; Rumen pH modulation; Poultry feed conversion ratio; Egg production; Swine feed conversion ratio
Summary: Probiotic research in livestock is rapidly evolving, aspiring to produce local and systemic health benefits on par with antimicrobials. Although many studies have clearly demonstrated the potential of probiotics to positively affect animal health and inhibit pathogens, experimental evidence suggests that probiotics’ successes are modest, conditional, strain dependent, and transient. Here, we explore current understanding, trends, and emerging applications of probiotic research and usage in major livestock species, and highlight successes in animal health and performance.

28 The role of probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics in animal nutrition (Research paper; Markowiak, 2018)

Species targeted: Pigs; Poultry; Dairy; Beef; Sheep;
Age: Different for different species;
Summary: Despite numerous difficulties associated with the registration of feed additives, modern global economy and strong market competition result in the need to introduce new technologies to animal nutrition. This paper discusses definitions of probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics. Criteria that have to be met by those kinds of formulas are also presented. The paper offers a list of the most commonly used probiotics and prebiotics and some examples of their combinations in synbiotic formulas used in animal feeding. Examples of available study results on the effect of probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics on animal health are also summarised

27 Quantitative assessment of antimicrobial resistance in livestock during the course of a nationwide antimicrobial use reduction in the Netherlands (Research paper; Dorado-Garcia, 2016)

Significant Impact Group(s): AMU reduction strategies \ Monitoring and surveillance \ Antibiotic use
Species targeted: Pigs; Poultry; Dairy;
Age: Different for different species;
Outcome Parameter(s): Antimicrobial resistance
Summary: Evidence presented indicates that drug use history and co-selection of resistance are key elements
for perpetuation of resistance. Data suggest that recent Dutch policies aimed at reducing total use of antimicrobials and restricting the use of critically important antimicrobials have decreased E. coli resistance in the pig and veal calf production sectors while the impact on the dairy cattle and poultry sectors is less clear.

25 Antimicrobial use policy change in preweaned dairy calves and its impact on antimicrobial resistance in commensal Escherichia coli: a cross sectional and ecological study ( Research paper; Afema, 2019)

Significant Impact Group(s): AMU reduction strategies \ Legislation and incentives ; Prudent use AB

Species targeted: Dairy;
Age: Young;
Outcome Parameter(s): Declining trend in resistance to most antimicrobials during and after policy changes
Summary: Based on feedback and interaction between study investigators, farm management and consulting veterinarians, a new policy was implemented to reduce antimicrobial use in calves. We investigated the effects of these policy changes in antimicrobial use on resistance in commensal Escherichia coli. In general, there was a declining trend in resistance to most antimicrobials during and after policy changes were implemented, except for ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, ceftiofur and gentamicin.

Outcome Parameter(s): better udder health; best strategy for mastitis treatment
Summary: Definition and control of mastitis in dairy cows by Consultant Veterinary Surgeons of
The Danish Dairy Board. The prognosis and eventual strategy for treatment should be based upon described examinations and test results as well as the owner and vet’s knowledge of the individual cow.
In Denmark the preventative work and combating of mastitis is implemented by means of a close cooperation between The Danish Dairy Board, The Mastitis Laboratory, the dairy farmer and the local veterinary surgeon. This work is lead by the Leading Veterinary Surgeon who is appointed and authorized by The Food Inspection Directorate.

Species targeted: Dairy; Age: Adult;

Summary: Pruex – additives ‘animal house stabaliser’ and ‘Water cleaner’
Ensuring that animals get clean water that’s not dominated by infection causing bacteria is essential in the fight against disease and majorly influences the need to treat sick animals with antibiotics.
Disease instances such as mastitis, foul of the foot, calf scour and pneumonia have all reduced significantly on this Scottish dairy unit since they have applied Pruex protocols with the aim of ensuring; dry bedding, clean air, feet and water.

David Finlay discusses what they have observed since they have worked with Pruex with the objective of reducing the environmental challenge their animals face from disease causing agents.
