492 Research paper
Concomitant vaccination of cows and awareness to colostrum distribution: positive impacts on veal calves strength by Mounaix B., Chanteperdrix M., Jozan T. and S. Assie 2020 Rencontres Recherches Ruminants : Session santé
In Significant Impact Groups: Pathogen management \ Vaccination; Biosecurity
Species targeted: Beef; Dairy;
Age: Young; Adult;
Summary:
The impact of the concomitant vaccination of cows to protect the young calf against neonatal diarrhoea and respiratory diseases was tested: in 40 dairy farms, 819 dams were vaccinated at drying with recommendation to distribute to their calf 4L of colostrum within 6 hours after calving. 211 calves of those vaccinated cows and 214 calves without known history were compared in 10 veal calves fattening farms. Within the first 45 days, calves from vaccinated cows received 1 antibiotic treatment less than other calves and less antibiotic matter. The impact was visible from the arrival at fattening unit: 1.8 less risk for vaccinated cow calves to show clinical respiratory disease, and a higher weight (1 kg) at equivalent ages. As a consequence, the mortality of calves from vaccinated cows was lower.

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
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.

Species targeted: Dairy;
Age:
Summary:
Locomotor problems in dairy cows have been on the increase in recent years. This is due to changes in housing systems, feeding systems, workload of farmers and finally herd groupings which favour the spread of Mortellaro disease. A method of intervention in farms with lameness problems has been developed by pooling the expertise of different livestock advisors and vets. This method is described in the document: “Intervention method for the control of lameness in dairy herds”. It specifies the different parts of the intervention in 3 booklets : a: general presentation of the method and the stages of the intervention b: presentation of methods for investigating risk factors related to housing, food and sanitary conduct c: collection of sample support documents for operational intervention. The main originality of this intervention document in a dairy cow farm facing lameness is that it gathers all the intervention methodology from the preparation to the monitoring of the situation.

Summary:
The intention of this document is to contribute to the maintenance of antimicrobial effectiveness by providing a descriptive framework of good practice. The implementation of the key aspects of this framework is compatible with its adaptation to the particular conditions of each Member State. In this way a coordinated and integrated approach can be achieved across the EU, but tailored to the specific needs of each Member State. The EPRUMA initiative is intended as a complement to Integrated Agriculture*. with regard to the rational use of agricultural means of production, as set out in the European Framework for Integrated Agriculture (EISA).
