Abstract

Background: Cattle colonised by the zoonotic pathogen verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli of serotype O157 (VTEC O157) can shed high levels of the pathogen in their faeces. A suggested key for controlling VTEC O157 is preventing colonisation of individuals. Aim: In this study the role of individual super-shedders and factors related to susceptibility and environmental exposure in the transmission of VTEC O157 among dairy calves are explored. Methods: The association between sex, age, pen hygiene, pen type and stocking density and colonisation of individual calves, established by recto-anal mucosal swabs, on farms where pathogenic VTEC O157 had been confirmed was investigated. In a follow-up sampling, the consistency of previously identified risk factors and the role of shedding pen mates was assessed by studying the risk of new/re-colonisation. Results: The results suggest an important role of stocking density that decreases with age, possibly due to increased resistance to colonisation following exposure. However, previous colonisation did not influence the risk of being colonised in the second sampling. Super-shedders (shedding >103 colony forming units/g faeces) significantly increased the risk of colonisation in peers (OR = 10, CI 4.2–52). In addition, environmental factors associated with survival of the bacteria, affected risk. Conclusion: The results confirm the suggested importance of super-shedders but also emphasises the importance of considering the combined exposure from peers and the environment.

17. Temperature, productivity, and heat tolerance: Evidence from Swedish dairy production

Abstract

This study aims to identify the effects of temperature on dairy production and the heat tolerance of different dairy breeds under heat stress. Using farm and animal-level data from 1435 dairy farms throughout Sweden for 4 years (from 2016 to 2019), we find that a 7-day average of daily maximum temperatures above similar to 20 degrees C is associated with sharp declines in milk production. We then estimate the farm-level loss in contribution margin for a typical Swedish dairy farm for the year 2018, which consisted of long-lasting heatwaves and extended summer temperatures. We also estimate that, on average, there are no differences in the impact of heatwaves on milk losses for different dairy breeds but that there exists a trade-off between genetic milk production potential and heat tolerance of a dairy cow. The magnitude of this productivity-tolerance trade-off may differ across breeds, suggesting that the high-production potential animals of certain breeds may be less sensitive to heat stress. These findings have important implications in terms of adapting to heat stress, investing in mitigation measures, and development of future breeds that can ameliorate the current trade-off between production capacity of a cow and its heat tolerance.

Abstract

13 páginas, 5 figuras, 3 tablas., The COST action “Standardising output-based surveillance to control non-regulated diseases of cattle in the European Union (SOUND control),” aims to harmonise the results of surveillance and control programmes (CPs) for non-EU regulated cattle diseases to facilitate safe trade and improve overall control of cattle infectious diseases. In this paper we aimed to provide an overview on the diversity of control for these diseases in Europe. A non-EU regulated cattle disease was defined as an infectious disease of cattle with no or limited control at EU level, which is not included in the European Union Animal health law Categories A or B under Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2002. A CP was defined as surveillance and/or intervention strategies designed to lower the incidence, prevalence, mortality or prove freedom from a specific disease in a region or country. Passive surveillance, and active surveillance of breeding bulls under Council Directive 88/407/EEC were not considered as CPs. A questionnaire was designed to obtain country-specific information about CPs for each disease. Animal health experts from 33 European countries completed the questionnaire. Overall, there are 23 diseases for which a CP exists in one or more of the countries studied. The diseases for which CPs exist in the highest number of countries are enzootic bovine leukosis, bluetongue, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, bovine viral diarrhoea and anthrax (CPs reported by between 16 and 31 countries). Every participating country has on average, 6 CPs (min–max: 1–13) in place. Most programmes are implemented at a national level (86%) and are applied to both dairy and non-dairy cattle (75%). Approximately one-third of the CPs are voluntary, and the funding structure is divided between government and private resources. Countries that have eradicated diseases like enzootic bovine leukosis, bluetongue, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and bovine viral diarrhoea have implemented CPs for other diseases to further improve the health status of cattle in their country. The control of non-EU regulated cattle diseases is very heterogenous in Europe. Therefore, the standardising of the outputs of these programmes to enable comparison represents a challenge.

Abstract

Some European countries have successfully implemented country-specific control programs (CPs) for infectious cattle diseases that are not regulated or are regulated only to a limited extent at the European Union (EU) level. Examples of such diseases include bovine viral diarrhea (BVD), infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), and Johne's disease (JD). The CPs vary between countries in the design and quality of collected data as well as methods used to detect infection and estimate prevalence or probability of freedom from infection. Differences in disease status between countries and non-standardized approaches to assess freedom from infection pose a risk for countries with CPs for non-regulated diseases as infected animals may influence the progress of the disease control or eradication program. The implementation of output-based standards allows estimation and comparison of the probability of freedom for non-regulated cattle diseases in European countries. The aim of the current study was to assess the existence and quality of data that could be used for estimating freedom from infection in European countries. The online data collection tool was sent to 32 countries participating in the SOUND control COST Action and was completed by 24 countries. Data on cattle demographics and data from CPs of IBR and BVD exist in more than 50% of the response countries. However, data describing risk factors and CP of JD was reported as existing in

The overall quality of data in the sections on demographics and CPs of IBR and BVD were evaluated as “good”, but risk factors and JD data were mostly evaluated as “fair.” Data quality was considered less good mainly due to two quality criteria: accessibility and accuracy. The results of this study show that the quantity and quality of data about cattle populations and CPs are relatively similar in many surveyed countries. The outcome of this work provides an overview of the current situation in the European

Abstract

Verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli serotype O157:H7 (VTEC O157:H7), is a zoonotic pathogen often transmitted from cattle to humans. In Sweden, domestic transmission of a highly virulent subtype of VTEC O157:H7, originating in regional clusters of infected cattle farms, is increasing. To reduce the risk of transmission to humans a comprehensive picture of infection dynamics between and within farms are urgently needed. The aim of this thesis was to provide a holistic view of drivers of transmission and susceptibility from a regional, farm and animal perspective by combining epidemiology, microbiology, bioinformatics and animal welfare. The risk of introduction of VTEC O157:H7 on cattle farms was studied by collecting environmental samples in spring and fall from 80 farms. Information about farm characteristics, biosecurity and between farm contacts were collected by a questionnaire. On 4 farms, a more thorough environmental sampling with detailed analysis of strains was carried out during summer (between the spring and fall sampling). The results showed frequent transmission of VTEC O157:H7 between farms and that transmission occurs through human and animals contacts. To investigate drivers of colonisation and transmission on farm level, individual samples from calves on 12 dairy farms with VTEC O157:H7 (established through environmental sampling) were collected. In addition to collecting information about pen and calf environment, a novel approach, using indicators of animal welfare and behaviour to study individual differences, was used to explore differences between colonised and non-colonised calves. The results suggest that social and active individuals are more likely to be colonised by the pathogen while animals showing signs of poor health and welfare were less likely to be colonised. Colonised animals shedding high levels of the bacteria were important for transmission but environmental exposure also increased risk of transmission within pens.

Abstract

This study reflects on the recognised need for more joined-up, high-quality research on phytotherapy that addresses the current societal challenges in finding alternatives to the use of antibiotics. The study applied a multidisciplinary participatory approach in an expert workshop exercise within the FP7 EU IMPRO project. Prior to this study, a literature review was elaborated on research in the field of phytotherapy as applied to farm animals, cooperation between research bodies and initiatives to reduce the use of antibiotics by using phytotherapeutic remedies. The review was delivered to the participants of the workshop so as to receive feedback on it and enrich the discussion. Different expertise, background in research or veterinary practice, and varying positions regarding phytotherapy were the criteria in targeting participants. A structured workshop was subsequently organised, with questions to experts addressing scientific validation of phytotherapy, effective treatment under farm conditions and necessary developments for the future. Challenges identified by the experts were as follows: poor study designs, lack of reproducibility of studies, poor standardisation of products, cost-benefit concerns, lack of veterinarian training and poor data availability. To overcome obstacles, the need for improved study designs for clinical trials was given priority in order to prove the efficacy of remedies and to implement a monitoring system which enables the assessment of the effectiveness of treatments in farm practice. Reflections in this report are intended to be a resource for scientists, policy makers and end users for an effective use of phytotherapy at farm level.

34. En undersökning av sambandet mellan djurvälfärd och utsöndring av kryptosporidier hos unga kalvar i två besättningar

Abstract

Stress påverkar immunförsvaret och den fysiska hälsan samt individens välfärd och dess psykologiska hälsa men verkningsmekanismerna är fortfarande relativt outforskade. Det finns indikationer på att djur med lägre välfärd är mer stressade och därmed känsligare för infektion samt har svårare att göra sig av med infekterande agens än djur med högre välfärd. Målet med denna studie var att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan välfärdsfaktorer och utsöndring av patogenen Cryptosporidium spp. hos unga kalvar. Utöver detta avsågs att skapa en modell där parametrar från välfärdsbedömning används för att förutse utsöndring vilket i framtiden kunna ge en mer riktad provtagning i besättningar där smitta misstänks. Sextiofem kalvar, mellan en och åtta veckor gamla, från två svenska besättningar undersöktes och bedömdes i studien. Välfärdsbedömningar gjordes i två delar, dels en beteendestudie, där varje box studerades för sig, och dels en individuell bedömning av varje djur. I samband med den individuella bedömningen samlades träckprover in och analyserades. Proverna renades och analyserades med avseende på Cryptosporidium spp. Sambanden mellan välfärdsbedömningen och utsöndringen analyserades genom enkel korrelationstest (Kendall’s tau). Dessutom analyserades data med Partial Least Squares (PLS) i ett försök att skapa en modell för att förutse utsöndring med hjälp av välfärdsfaktorer. Det fanns ett statistiskt signifikant samband mellan flera välfärdsfaktorer och utsöndring av Cryptosporidium spp. Uttryck av beteenden som stångning och huvudskakning samt förekomst av skador och förhårdnader i huden var positivt kopplade till utsöndring. Uttryck av orala stereotypier var negativt korrelerat till utsöndring. Sambanden är dock svåra att tolka på grund av luckor i forskningen inom välfärdsparametrar för kalv och betydelsen av vissa beteenden. Den begränsade mängden data och olika förhållanden på de två gårdarna vad gäller boxarea, antal kalvar i boxen samt förekomst av olika, Stress in individuals affects their immune system and physical health as well as their welfare. Although the mechanisms are not fully understood there are indications that animals with lower welfare are more liable to stress and therefore more susceptible to different infections and eliminate pathogens at a slower rate. This results in increased shedding of pathogens during a prolonged period of time. The aim of this study was to investigate if there are correlations between indicators of animal welfare and shedding of a pathogen and if indicators of animal welfare can be used to target sampling in field to individuals at greater risk of shedding pathogens. The pathogen chosen for the study was Cryptosporidium spp., a group of protozoan parasites causing diarrhea in young calves. Sixty-five calves, from one to eight weeks of age, in two Swedish dairy farms were subject to a welfare assessment. The assessment comprised observations of behavior and clinical status. Fecal samples were taken for analysis of Cryptosporidium spp. The samples were cleaned before being analyzed for presence of oocysts by epifluorescence microscopy. Correlations between welfare indicators and shedding were analyzed using Kendall’s tau. Partial Least Squares (PLS) was used to create a model to predict shedding using welfare indicators. Statistically significant associations between several welfare indicators and shedding of Cryptosporidium spp. were found. Expressions of oral stereotypies were negatively correlated to shedding while butting, headshaking, skin lesions and hardened skin were positively associated with shedding. However the associations were difficult to interpret due to confounding factors as differences between the farms. Using the most highly correlated variables from Kendall’s tau test a model to predict shedding using these variables was created by PLS. Each variable was given a coefficient symbolizing their influence in the final model which explained 45 % of the variance

35. Hur kan djurvälfärden inom ekologisk grisproduktion förbättras?

Author

Tamminen, Lena-Mari and Tamminen, Lena-Mari

Abstract

Grishälsan inom KRAV-certifierad produktion har förändrats det senaste årtiondet och besiktningsstatistik utmärks numera av fler ledanmärkningar, lunginflammationer och leverskador orsakade av parasiter. Detta i kombination med en markant ökad smågrisdödlighet är bekymrande eftersom det strider mot den ökade välfärd som KRAV eftersträvar och konsumenterna efterfrågar. När djurvälfärd diskuteras måste man dock notera att detta är ett brett och svårbedömt begrepp som kan definieras på olika sätt. Idag talas det framför allt om tre synsätt som utgår antingen från djurets känslor, dess hälsa och funktion eller hur naturligt det lever. KRAV-grisar får genom djurhållningen utlopp för fler naturliga beteenden och därmed ökat välbefinnande men när man ska väga detta mot den ökade ohälsan blir det svårt att avgöra vad som är viktigast. Det har dock utvecklats ett antal mätsystem för djurvälfärd som inkluderar flera kriterier. Det finns flera sätt att förbättra hälsan bland de ekologiska grisarna. En genomtänkt produktion med omgångsuppfödning och en strikt betesrotation samt särskilda avelsprogram för eko-grisar är exempel på detta. Det finns dock fortfarande luckor i forskningen och fler studier, framför allt utförda efter svenska förhållanden och förutsättningar behöver göras., Pigs in Swedish pig production certified by KRAV have stood out for their better health for many years but this has changed the last decades. Nowadays slaughter statistics show a remarkable increase in pneumonias among organic pigs and they have a higher frequency of joint diseases and parasitic lesions compared to conventionally reared animals. This, combined with a markedly increased mortality of piglets, is of major concern since health is an important factor when assessing animal welfare which is considered very important for KRAV-certified production as well as for the consumers. When discussing animal welfare one should be aware that it is very hard to asses since it can be defined in several ways. Today there are three major main views where judgment is based either on the feelings of the animal, its health and physiologic function or to which extent it leads a natural life. Pigs certified by KRAV have the opportunity to live lives which fulfil their needs for natural behaviour which increases their welfare, but when trying to compare this advantage with the loss of welfare due to inferior health it gets hard. However, systems for measuring and weighing several factors have been created. There are several ways to improve animal health in organic production. For example the use of a well-planned all-in-all-out production system with strict pasture rotation and a special breeding program could all give good results. However, there is still a need for more research, especially concerning production under Swedish conditions.

Abstract

In 2007, human infections with a hypervirulent strain of verocytotoxin‐producing Escherichia coliO157:H7 increased in Sweden and especially in the Halland County. A connection between the cases and a local beef cattle farm with an on‐farm abattoir and meat processing plant was established. In this observational study the control measures implemented on the infected farm and the dynamics of infection in the herd are described. In May 2008, when measures were initiated and animals put to pasture, the prevalence of positive individuals was 40 per cent and 18 carcasses out of 24 slaughtered animals were contaminated. During summer the monthly prevalence of positive carcasses varied between 8 and 41 per cent and at turning‐in 22 out of 258 individually sampled animals were shedding the pathogen. After January 2009 no positive carcasses were found at slaughter and follow‐up samplings of environment and individuals remained negative until the study period ended in May 2010. The results indicate that on‐farm measures have potential to reduce the prevalence of the pathogen in a long‐term perspective. However, as self‐clearance cannot be excluded the effectiveness of the suggested measures needs to be confirmed.

Abstract

The COST action "Standardising output-based surveillance to control non-regulated diseases of cattle in the European Union (SOUND control)," aims to harmonise the results of surveillance and control programmes (CPs) for non-EU regulated cattle diseases to facilitate safe trade and improve overall control of cattle infectious diseases. In this paper we aimed to provide an overview on the diversity of control for these diseases in Europe. A non-EU regulated cattle disease was defined as an infectious disease of cattle with no or limited control at EU level, which is not included in the European Union Animal health law Categories A or B under Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2002. A CP was defined as surveillance and/or intervention strategies designed to lower the incidence, prevalence, mortality or prove freedom from a specific disease in a region or country. Passive surveillance, and active surveillance of breeding bulls under Council Directive 88/407/EEC were not considered as CPs. A questionnaire was designed to obtain country-specific information about CPs for each disease. Animal health experts from 33 European countries completed the questionnaire. Overall, there are 23 diseases for which a CP exists in one or more of the countries studied. The diseases for which CPs exist in the highest number of countries are enzootic bovine leukosis, bluetongue, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, bovine viral diarrhoea and anthrax (CPs reported by between 16 and 31 countries). Every participating country has on average, 6 CPs (min-max: 1-13) in place. Most programmes are implemented at a national level (86%) and are applied to both dairy and non-dairy cattle (75%). Approximately one-third of the CPs are voluntary, and the funding structure is divided between government and private resources. Countries that have eradicated diseases like enzootic bovine leukosis, bluetongue, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis and bovine viral diarrhoea have implemented CPs for other diseases to further improve the health status of cattle in their country. The control of non-EU regulated cattle diseases is very heterogenous in Europe. Therefore, the standardising of the outputs of these programmes to enable comparison represents a challenge., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2021 Hodnik, Acinger-Rogić, Alishani, Autio, Balseiro, Berezowski, Carmo, Chaligiannis, Conrady, Costa, Cvetkovikj, Davidov, Dispas, Djadjovski, Duarte, Faverjon, Fourichon, Frössling, Gerilovych, Gethmann, Gomes, Graham, Guelbenzu, Gunn, Henry, Hopp, Houe, Irimia, Ježek, Juste, Kalaitzakis, Kaler, Kaplan, Kostoulas, Kovalenko, Kneževič, Knific, Koleci, Madouasse, Malakauskas, Mandelik, Meletis, Mincu, Mõtus, Muñoz-Gómez, Niculae, Nikitović, Ocepek, Tangen-Opsal, Ózsvári, Papadopoulos, Papadopoulos, Pelkonen, Polak, Pozzato, Rapaliuté, Ribbens, Niza-Ribeiro, Roch, Rosenbaum Nielsen, Saez, Nielsen, van Schaik, Schwan, Sekovska, Starič, Strain, Šatran, Šerić-Haračić, Tamminen, Thulke, Toplak, Tuunainen, Verner, Vilček, Yildiz and Santman-Berends.)
