“…The number of isolates belonging to complexes related to MRSA and to human diseases (CC1, CC5, CC8, CC20, CC398) represent more than 50% of the isolates considered, while only about 25% of them can be considered as exclusively of cow origin. These data support the importance of monitoring dairy cows as a potential reservoir of LA-MRSA and to apply a prudent use of antibiotics to reduce the development of antibiotic resistance (Fluit, 2012;Graveland et al, 2011;Trevisi et al, 2014).…”

Staphylococcus aureus isolated from mammary gland are characterized by different genetic patterns. Ninety four isolates from 33 dairy herds were analyzed by the means of a microarray to investigate S. aureus virulence patterns and the distribution of genes believed to be involved in immune evasion. None of the 94 isolates considered were MRSA. However, 50% of the isolates belonged to complexes related to MRSA and to human diseases, while only about 25% of them can be considered as exclusively of bovine origin. The distribution of clonal complexes and the different gene patterns observed confirmed the presence of an influence of geographical localization. The assessment of the influence of genes related to immune evasion on quarter milk cell count showed as four of them showed to be significantly associated to an increase quarter milk SCC. These genes could be potential target for developing new vaccines against S. aureus.

“…Dairy cows are commonly housed at higher densities with great metabolic stress. As milk production increases, parallelly related disease increased, which could negatively affect animal welfare and food quality [19]. Contrary to poultry and beef industry, antibiotics in dairy industry are used for therapeutic functions [20].…”

“…However, supportive care and good husbandry practices are recommended for resolution of clinical cases makes antibiotic therapy is not necessary [26]. It is well known Antibiotic Use in Animalsthat high yielding dairy cows are more susceptible to infectious diseases, especially when transition period of lactation resumes [19]. Good husbandry practices including nutritional support, controlling environmental stress, applying dry cow therapy are the recommended successful criteria for dry period.…”

Antibiotic Use in Animals

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Animals could become sick at any time of their lives, just like all people exposed. Many of the antibiotics administered to animals are identical to or closely drugs used in human. All animal species in general and food-producing animals, in particular, are commonly exposed to antibiotics to treat and prevent infectious diseases or to promote growth. Antibiotics would not be necessary if animals were raised differently under good veterinary and husbandry practices that were less crowded and more sanitary. The proper and responsible use of antibiotics in veterinary medicine mandate an active cooperation between all the interested parties involved in livestock production cycles. All parties are invited to act together to ensure the ultimate goals of maintaining the efficacy and safety of veterinary antibiotics and complying the established maximum residue limits (MRLs) of the products of animal origin intended for human consumption. Antibiotics as hazardous substances should be applied and directed during the different steps starting from prescription until ensuring the withdrawal period under the supervision of professionals and veterinarians. Practices indicated that there is a need to improve sensitivity testing services and facilities before prescribing the proper antibiotic.

“…However, health situation in cattle is strongly perceived as animal health affects economic aspects of breeding and welfare (Krupová et al, 2016) and proper management of antibiotics distinctly reduce risk of development of resistances to applied medicaments (Trevisi et al, 2014). For these reasons, a project was formed to determine situation in health recording in the Czech Republic and to propose national recording system of health data for better management of situation and more effective development of treatment of animals.…”

The aim of work was to describe situation in health data recording and propose a national health data sharing and evaluation system compatible with international ICAR categorization. For analysis of situation in health data recording, a survey regarding use of commercial programs of herd management was conducted, identifying specific programs and determining parts of programs which are actively used by breeders for practical purposes. Totally 21 programs were identified as used by farmers, however four most frequently utilized programs are providing recording in 67.1 % of all companies. Most frequent types of data recorded in software were: milk production (92 %), fertility and reproduction (91 %), herd management in a narrow sense (77 %), course of milking (73 %), animal health situation (61 %) and veterinary procedures and drugs recording (59 %). A general plan for health data recording connected to other parts of information system of dairy cattle was designed.
