The document discusses antimicrobial stewardship of in-feed antibiotics in the Australian dairy industry. It provides information on the industry's commitment to responsible antibiotic use and outlines the 'Five Rs' approach of reducing, refining, replacing, reviewing, and taking responsibility. Survey results are presented showing most farmers do not use antibiotics in feed and those that do primarily use monensin and virginiamycin. The document encourages veterinarians to consider alternatives to antibiotics when possible to treat diseases and aims to motivate responsible antibiotic use.
Henry Too presented on pig production in Asia and experiences with Circovac®. Pig farming ranges from small backyard operations to commercial farms. Circovac® is registered for use in several Asian countries and has been shown in trials to significantly reduce mortality and PCVD-specific mortality, improve growth rates, reduce time to slaughter, and decrease viral shedding compared to non-vaccinated pigs. The results demonstrate Circovac® is effective at controlling PCV2 infections across the whole herd through sow or piglet vaccination.

Parasites pose a significant threat to the health of small ruminants. Natural products such as Adlai roots have anthelmintic potentials. The study aimed to determine the Anthelmintic potential to the small ruminants. A total of 12 goats and sheep regardless of sex and age were used in the study and randomly distributed into four (4) Treatments with Three (3) replications following Randomized Complete Block Design. There were four different levels of Treatments. Treatment 1 as the control, Treatment 2 (100ml of Adlai roots decoction), Treatment 3 (150ml of Adlai roots decoction), and Treatment 4 (200ml of Adlai roots decoction). Freshly excreted feces were collected and placed in plastic cups and immediately examined through Modified Mc Master Test to evaluate the Anthelmintic activity of the designated treatments. The evaluation criteria were based on the frequency counts of egg parasites and oocysts per 2 grams of feces under different treatments. Results were analyzed using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) of Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Tukey’s test was used to compare treatment means showing significant difference. Statistical results were non-significant among Treatment means in all of the parameters except for the strongylid counts for the month of April which showed significant difference among treatment mean at (P< 0.05) where sheep treated with Treatment 4 (200ml of Adlai roots decoction). Adlai roots decoction has anti-parasitic activity.

Dr. Scott Dee and Dr. Gordon Spronk - African Swine Fever Virus Update: Pipes...John Blue
The document discusses ASFV (African swine fever virus) and efforts to prevent its spread to the US. It notes the large volume of agricultural imports from China and the risk this poses. New research shows ASFV can survive in feed ingredients and be transmitted orally. The presentation introduces a "Keep it Out" vision and "Responsible Imports" strategy to safely allow essential imports while mitigating risk. New industry resolutions support focusing resources on prevention and collaborating across borders to protect North America's swine herd. Trials of feed additives show products that significantly reduce virus transmission in contaminated feed. The goal is to have an effective feed mitigation plan in place by mid-2019.
Based on historical data, Australia and New Zealand (NZ) form a single epidemiological unit for cereal rusts. Until 2001, pathotype analysis of cereal rust pathogens for NZ was conducted at the University of Sydney, Plant Breeding Institute. The first year of pathotype analysis in New Zealand provided evidence for pathotype exchange in both directions across the Tasman. The second year of pathotype analysis has provided more detail on the evolution of rust pathotypes within New
Zealand. From these results a fuller picture of the pathotype diversity of New Zealand cereal rusts is emerging with important consequences for the cereal industry in both New Zealand and Australia.

antimicrobial use and resistance insights from a veterinary perspectiveJeroen Dewulf
Antimicrobial use and resistance from a veterinary perspective
1) Antimicrobial resistance develops naturally in bacteria but is selected for with antimicrobial use. Surveillance data from several EU countries links increasing antimicrobial resistance in animal pathogens to higher antimicrobial use.
2) Antimicrobials are widely used in livestock production for treatment, prevention and growth promotion. Usage surveys in Belgium found high levels of antimicrobial use in broiler chicken, pig and dairy cattle production.
3) There is transmission of antimicrobial resistance between animals, humans and the environment. Resistance genes are common in commensal bacteria from food animals, wildlife and the environment.

Heat stress negatively impacts livestock in several ways:
1) It reduces feed intake and nutrient digestibility, decreasing nutrient uptake by up to 30% which leads to lower milk production and weight loss.
2) It decreases rumination time and depresses appetite, reducing digestive efficiency.
3) It alters rumen physiology like decreasing rumen motility and changing fermentation, impairing digestive and reproductive performance.
6. Future viable steps to reduce antibiotic usage in.pptx2damcreative
This document discusses potential future steps to reduce antibiotic usage in commercial beef production. It outlines why antibiotic reduction is needed due to increasing antibiotic resistance. It then discusses various strategies that can be used to reduce antibiotic usage, including procuring healthier cattle, pre-vaccinating and backgrounding cattle before feedlot entry, improving stockmanship and acclimation practices, more precise disease diagnosis, and alternatives to in-feed antibiotics like direct fed microbials. The overall goal is to reduce sickness in feedlots and thereby reduce the need for antibiotic treatments.
10. Feedworks-Rumen function (and dysfunction).pptx2damcreative
This document summarizes rumen function and factors that can lead to rumen dysfunction. Proper rumen function requires rumination to break down feed particles and maintain pH, as well as motility to mix contents and absorb fermentation acids. A key regulator of rumen pH is the balance between production and absorption/passage of fermentation acids. Low rumen pH can decrease fiber digestion and passage rates. Risk factors for low pH include low rumen fill, highly fermentable rations, and feeding grains separately from forages. Low pH can damage the rumen epithelium and increase risks of acidosis.

This document provides information on calf health from a presentation given by Dr. Curtis Harms at the Feedworks Conference in 2022. It discusses where calves fit as a priority on dairies, problems commonly seen, and considerations that can help improve calf health and future profitability. The document notes that a calf's future depends more on the dairy it was born on than its dam, and that health challenges are often more due to two-legged (human) problems than four-legged (disease) problems. It emphasizes cleanliness, colostrum, consistency, monitoring health objectively, and not believing calves can solely "catch up" in later stages.

This presentation discusses feeding sheep and cattle. It addresses common diet questions and covers nutrient specifications, ingredient selection, diet formulation, feed manufacturing methods, and feeding management strategies. The key topics include the differences between starter and finisher diets, factors that affect feed intake like feed sorting and particle size, the benefits of total mixed rations over component feeding, and the importance of bunk management and rumination for digestive health and production.
Icelandic Lithothamnion (Acid Buf) is a unique calcium source derived from red marine algae with distinct physical and compositional properties compared to other lithothamnion sources and limestone. Laboratory experiments show Acid Buf has superior buffering capacity and ability to maintain rumen pH. Recent research found Acid Buf improved feed efficiency, fat yield, and reduced inflammation in transition cows. Its anti-inflammatory effects are believed to contribute to performance benefits observed in multiple studies.
1. 2022 Baumgard Australia LPS and Fertility.pptx2damcreative
This document summarizes research on inflammation during the transition period in dairy cows and its impacts. It discusses how inflammation occurs in all cows during this time, and how the magnitude differs. Inflammation is found to precede clinical diseases like mastitis and metritis. The document hypothesizes that inflammation causes reduced feed intake, leading to increased NEFA and ketones. It also suggests inflammation contributes to hypocalcemia and impaired reproduction. Rather than seeing high NEFA and ketones as direct causes of issues, the document proposes they are symptoms of prior immune stimulation and inflammation.
This document discusses Nedap's livestock management software and equipment. It describes their electronic feeding stations that measure daily feed intake and monitor gestating sow weights. It also discusses their farrowing feeding system that provides exact feeding for breeding and is easy to use via mobile devices. Additionally, it summarizes Nedap's pig performance testing system which measures growth performance in real time and exports data on animal numbers, visits, durations, weights and feed intake. The system allows for sorting pigs by weight to different feed types and monitoring individual weights and visits to forecast target weights.
This document discusses concepts in vitamin D nutrition for poultry and swine production. It summarizes research showing that older birds have impaired conversion of vitamin D, leading to decreased calcium absorption and poorer egg quality. Supplementation with the active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, can help support calcium and phosphorus metabolism. The product Panbonis, which contains the plant Solanum glaucophyllum that naturally produces 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, was shown to improve performance metrics in layers and reduce feed costs. The document also discusses how vitamin D can support reproduction in swine by influencing the uterus, muscle contraction, and implantation.

6. 220916 HA ZPM in the monogastric space ver3.pptx2damcreative
This document discusses the use of performance minerals to improve pig and poultry performance. It provides information on several studies that show minerals like zinc, manganese, and copper from Zinpro sources like Availa-Sow can help increase sow longevity and litter performance, reduce lameness in sows, and increase weaning weights in piglets. The document also discusses benefits of Zinpro minerals for poultry breeders and layers in improving eggshell quality, hatchability, and chick weights. Finally, it summarizes research showing Zinpro minerals can improve broiler performance and reduce Salmonella levels.
5. Twin Water Copper benefits CoRouge.pptx2damcreative
This document discusses the benefits of high levels of copper in pig and poultry diets. It summarizes research showing that 75-250ppm of copper promotes growth and feed efficiency. The mode of action includes increasing growth hormone, lipase activity, and decreasing GI tract bacteria. A meta-analysis found maximum broiler growth at 158ppm copper and best feed conversion at 217ppm copper. Copper reduces bacteria populations through altering bacterial proteins and enzymes. It also reduces activity of the BSH enzyme, improving fat digestibility. Studies show monovalent copper from CoRouge improves performance with reduced toxicity risks and copper in excrement compared to other copper sources.
The document discusses creatine metabolism and supplementation. It summarizes that creatine plays a critical role in cellular energy balance by buffering ATP levels. The creatine-phosphocreatine system works to counter ATP shortage and formation of free radicals. Supplementing animals' diets with creatine (GAA) leads to increased performance outcomes like breast meat yield, body weight gain, and improved feed conversion ratio. Studies in poultry, pigs, and their offspring show supplementation can spare dietary energy and amino acids while maintaining or improving production metrics.
The document discusses achieving inorganic phosphorus-free broiler production through optimized phytase and diet formulations. It outlines several approaches: using a highly efficient phytase to breakdown most phytate, stimulating gizzard development, sufficient phytate phosphorus levels from plant ingredients, optimized calcium levels based on limestone solubility, and phase-specific phytase dosing strategies. Trials with Ross 308 broilers were set up with varying phytate phosphorus levels in diets containing corn, wheat, soybean, rice, wheat bran, and rapeseed/sunflower meals. Phytase and xylanase were included at specified levels while meeting minimum metabolizable energy and nutrient specifications compared to breeder recommendations.
This document summarizes the challenges facing the US pig industry according to Kyle Coble of JBS Live Pork. The three main challenges are labor shortages, disease pressure including African Swine Fever, and increasing demands for environmental sustainability. Regarding labor, unemployment is low while wages are increasing. To address this, JBS uses strategies like developing hourly employees, partnering with training programs, and exploring automation. Disease prevention relies on initiatives like the Swine Health Improvement Plan. Carbon neutral goals will impact the industry, requiring approaches like evaluating life cycle assessments of inputs. Overall the industry must embrace changes and continue innovating to succeed.

PURPOSE
Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis account for 65% of orthopaedic infections. Of particular concern are MRSA, which are present on the skin and in the nose of around 5% of the population and account for 13-74% of Staph infections.
AMR has been declared by the World Health Organisation as a global health emergency. It is responsible for an estimated 700 000 deaths annually, forecast to be 10 million by 2050.
A review done in the UK, published in 2016
Estimates that if current trends continue ~10 million people may die as a consequence of AMR annually, surpassing the rate of cancer deaths currently.
The joint World Health Organization (WHO), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) initiative ‘One Health’ is in ardent pursuit of prudent use of antibiotics in both human and animal medicine.
•In food-producing animals almost 75% of AU is in-feed (APVMA, 2014)
•SFMs have a critical role to play
I really have three main goals for my presentation.
RESPONSIBILITY – Shared responsibility between industry, individual farmers, their veterinarians and others who service the industry (stockfeed manufacturers)
REDUCE – AMS involves reduction of AMS where appropriate, to minimise impact on health and welfare, for in feed medications this should involve optimal nutritional management to minimise the impact of ruminal acidosis.
REFINE – It is important to ensure antibiotics are indicated, and if so, preferentially using those of lower importance ratings over those of higher ratings.
REPLACE – Where possible, replace use of antimicrobials with alternatives (such as buffers and alkalinising agents).
REVIEW – Practices should be regularly reviewed to determine appropriateness of AMU and opportunities to refine or reduce.
Importantly, resistant organisms, and their genes can spread between humans and animals.
The Importance Ratings and Summary of Antibacterial Uses in Human and Animal Health in Australia (Antibacterial Importance Ratings) aim to provide information to inform decision making about the registration and use of antibacterial medicines in Australia. The Antibacterial Importance Ratings were developed by the Australian Government with expert advice from the Australian Strategic and Technical Advisory Group on AMR (ASTAG).
Important - There are a reasonable number of alternative antibacterials in different classes available to treat or prevent most human infections even if antibacterial resistance develops.
Medium - There are some alternative antibacterials in different classes available to treat or prevent human infections, but less than for those rated as Low Importance.
High - These are essential antibacterials for the treatment or prevention of infections in humans where there are few or no treatment alternatives for infections. These have also been termed “last resort” or “last line” antibacterials. The use of antibacterials with High ratings in animals will be considered appropriate when national stewardship guidelines are available, or in ‘exceptional circumstances’.
WHO ratings slightly different – streptogramins are the equivalent of an orange (Highly Important) but macrolides critically important (red).
Last reviewed in 2018, and prior to that 2014/2015.
Cephalexin I was given after my surgery, specifically for the infections I mentioned previously – medium importance.
Around 32% of milk produced, particularly in the south eastern dairying regions was exported in FY21 but this ranges from 30-50%. Therefore international markets and events have a major influence on Australian production.
Australia’s major export markets are in Asia which reflects geographic proximity and direct restrictions to other major markets such as the European Union. Increased competition in key importing countries has also played a role in this competition.
The global context outlined here is relevant to the Australian dairy industry for four key reasons:
1. Market and customer requirements – residues and impacts on food safety are a key priority for milk companies. As well, global food companies have announced their desire to reduce antibiotic use in their supply chains.
2. Government requirements – animal industries are increasingly under scrutiny for the type, amount and indication of antimicrobials used.
3. Animal health – maintaining access to effective drugs is critical to cow and calf health & welfare and therefore dairy farming livelihoods.
4. Community health – routine human infections are increasingly at risk of becoming untreatable as microorganisms develop resistance to today’s antimicrobials, i.e. this affects us all.
Came into effect 28 January 2022
Must be a diagnosed disease – clinical examination or proper assessment.
No more than one active
For food producing animals and feeds containing antibiotics
Prescription only valid for 5 days
Treatment cannot exceed two weeks
Cannot be used for prevention (prophylaxis) – this means cannot be used to compensate for poor animal husbandry
Can be used for metaphalaxis (e.g. treatment of animals in close proximity) under certain conditions.
Article 118 of the EU Veterinary Medicines Regulation1 asserts that restrictions applying to antimicrobials
in the EU will also be applicable to animals or food of animal origin imported into the EU.
Pressure from customers, overseas governments and international bodies
It will be applicable in all EU countries from 28 January 2022.
The 2022 Genetics and Animal Welfare Survey data is based on information collected from a total of 400 dairy farmers selected randomly from the Dairy Australia levy payer database stratified by region.
Interviews were conducted during July and August 2022 using Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI).
The sampling margin for error for national results based on the entire sample is ±4.3% (at the 95% confidence level).
The randomisation process was computer driven, using specially designed market and social research software.
