How does transaction governance in the animal supply chain influence antibiotic use? A study of the French young bull sector

“…This differs from other livestock sectors (poultry, pork), where the importance of the spot market has decreased considerably (Hendrikse, 2007) and the main stakeholders are often coordinated within cooperatives and investor-owned firms (James et al, 2011). The coexistence of spot markets and long-term contracts is a characteristic of the beef sector, with the use of long-term contracts particularly rare in the young bull sector (Poizat et al, 2019).…”

Modeling the effects of farming practices on bovine respiratory disease in a multi-batch cattle fattening farm

“…In addition, the individual risk of contracting BRD, and subsequently spreading it, is heterogeneous among animals upon arrival in the fattening farms (Poizat et al, 2019). Environmental factors increasing the probability of BRD onset include stress, weaning, poor sanitary situation of the breeding farms (Grissett et al, 2015;Cernicchiaro et al, 2012).…”

“…Environmental factors increasing the probability of BRD onset include stress, weaning, poor sanitary situation of the breeding farms (Grissett et al, 2015;Cernicchiaro et al, 2012). In Europe, most young bulls from beef breeds are produced by cow/calf breeders and fattened by specialized fatteners (Poizat et al, 2019). After weaning, young bulls are transported to sorting facilities and sorted in batches by bodyweight, then shipped to the fatteners.…”

“…After weaning, young bulls are transported to sorting facilities and sorted in batches by bodyweight, then shipped to the fatteners. However, the individual exposure to factors inducing BRD is not taken into account when forming pens (Poizat et al, 2019). Conversely, in Anglo-Saxon systems, risk level assessment and preconditioning programs of high-risk animals are implemented, albeit not systematic (Hay et al, 2014(Hay et al, , 2016.…”
