Context
The ESVAC (European Surveillance of Veterinary
Antimicrobial Consumption) network, created within the
framework of the European Medicines Agency
(https://www.ema.europa.eu/), collects national sales of
antibiotics for animal production. From these data, a
consumption per productive unit is calculated in mg / PCU.
Spain has always been in the top positions since 2015,
although during the last 3 published years the reduction in
sales in Spain is almost 50% (ESVAC 2018)
The F2F strategy (From Farm to Fork) has established a clear
objective of reducing the use of antibiotics (50% in 10 years).
To achieve this, it is necessary to sensitize the entire
production system, educate all those involved in its use, and
provide precise technical and digital tools to address the
drastic reduction. Regardless of the emergence of chemical
or biological alternatives for the reduction, it is essential to
attack the predisposing factors to the appearance of these
diseases. All these objectives are pursued in REDaPORC.
Objectives
The innovative project aims to accelerate the process of
reducing the use of antibiotics in pig farms in Spain. To
achieve this, on the one hand, we will identify and
characterize the causes that have the greatest incidence in
its use, differentiating between those associated with
biosecurity, handling and comfort of the animals, and those
linked to the presence of certain pathologies. On the other
hand, we will develop a tool to compare the level of
antimicrobial consumption between farms. This information
will allow decision-making, both individual and collective, to
quickly progress towards the objective.
Objectives
El proyecto innovador tiene por objeto acelerar el proceso de
reducción de utilización de antibióticos en las explotaciones
de ganado porcino en España. Para ello, por una parte,
identificaremos y caracterizaremos las causas que más
incidencia tienen en su utilización, diferenciando entre las
asociadas a la bioseguridad, el manejo y el confort de los
animales y las ligadas a la presencia de determinadas
patologías. Por otra parte, desarrollaremos una herramienta
de comparación del nivel de consumo de antimicrobianos
entre granjas. Esta información permitirá la toma de
decisiones, tanto individuales como colectivas, para
progresar rápidamente en el objetivo.
Activities
Identification and characterization of the risk factors for
antibiotic consumption in Spanish white-coat pig farms,
through data obtained from 342 farms. Review of the
antibiotic consumption guide. Development of a platform for
the capture and comparison of information on health risks and
the consumption of antibiotics, between farms and companies
in the pig sector. Creation and checking of the platform.
Sensitization, awareness and training of producers,
veterinarians and technicians.
