RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The use of antibiotics in Swiss veal production is considered an established method for controlling bacterial infectious diseases. Although the veterinary profession aims to ensure animal welfare, the veterinary business income needs to be ensured at the same time. Against the background of increasing problems with resistant pathogens in human and veterinary medicine, the use of antibiotics should be significantly reduced and used more selectively. The associated economic consequences for food animal practitioners are unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the economic importance of antibiotic sale volume for private food animal practitioners in veal production. An anonymized questionnaire was sent to 120 mixed veterinary practices in Switzerland, which offered services to veal and beef cattle farmers. Questions involved the pharmaceutical sale volume, details on veterinary invoices from three farms with average, below and above average animal health throughout 2017. Twenty-nine complete questionnaires (response rate: 24.2%) and veterinary invoices of 84 farms were returned. The study is not representative, but it allows a rough assessment of the economic framework in Swiss livestock practice. The majority of the total turnover with livestock farms was generated by the sale of antibiotics (54%). Antibiotic sales per animal were higher as expected in farms with a below-average animal health than in farms with an average or above-average animal health. Consulting services turnover contributed only 0.5% to the total sale volume in veal farming. The results document, that antibiotic reduction measurements in veal and beef production will have economic consequences for veterinary livestock practices. In the medium term, the profitable existence of livestock veterinary practice requires a change to cost based consulting services.


INTRODUCTION: En Suisse, dans le cadre de la pratique de l'engraissement des veaux, l'utilisation d'antibiotiques est principalement considérée comme une méthode éprouvée pour lutter contre les maladies infectieuses bactériennes. L'activité vétérinaire vise à prévenir ou minimiser les souffrances chez les animaux. Mais pour autant, les vétérinaires restent des entrepreneurs qui doivent assurer un revenu adéquat de leur pratique. Dans un contexte de problèmes croissants rencontrés avec les agents pathogènes résistants en médecine humaine et vétérinaire, l'utilisation d'antibiotiques devrait être considérablement réduite et ciblée. Les conséquences économiques associées pour la pratique vétérinaire rurale sont peu connues. Le but de la présente étude était de déterminer l'importance économique des ventes d'antibiotiques pour les pratiques vétérinaires rurales privées en utilisant l'exemple de l'engraissement des veaux. À cet effet, un questionnaire anonymisé a été envoyé à 120 cabinets vétérinaires mixtes en Suisse, qui s'occupent entre autres d'exploitations d'engraissement de veaux, de broutards et de taurillons. Les participants ont été interrogés sur le niveau des ventes de médicaments. En outre, nous les avons invités à envoyer des factures vétérinaires concernant trois entreprises d'engraissement avec un niveau de santé animale inférieur, égal et supérieur à la moyenne tout au long de l'année 2017. Vingt-neuf questionnaires complets (taux de réponse: 24,2%) ainsi que des factures vétérinaires concernant au total 84 exploitations d'engraissement de veaux, de broutards ou de taurillons nous ont été retournés. L'étude n'est certes pas représentative, mais elle permet une évaluation approximative du cadre économique des pratiques rurales en Suisse. La majorité du chiffre d'affaires total sur les exploitations d'engraissement de veaux, de broutards ou taurillons a été générée par la vente d'antibiotiques (54%). Il apparait que les ventes d'antibiotiques étaient plus élevées dans les exploitations où la santé animale était inférieure à la moyenne que dans les établissements où elle était supérieure ou égale à la moyenne. Le chiffre d'affaires des prestations de conseil ne représentait que 0,5% du chiffre d'affaires total dans le domaine des veaux. Ces résultats montrent que les mesures visant à réduire les antibiotiques dans les conditions actuelles de production de veau et de boeuf auront probablement des conséquences économiques non négligeables sur la part des exploitations d'engraissement dans les revenus des pratiques vétérinaire rurales. A moyen terme, afin d'assurer la rentabilité d'une pratique rurale, une nouvelle orientation de l'activité vétérinaire sera nécessaire: la mise en place d'un service de conseils payants pour les exploitations d'engraissement, ayant pour but l'établissement de concepts de prévention.

RESUMO

Schmallenberg virus (SBV) was first detected in Switzerland in July 2012 and many Swiss dairy farmers reported acute clinical signs in dairy cattle during the spread of the virus until December 2012. The objectives of the present study were to investigate the effects of an acute infection with SBV on milk yield, fertility and veterinary costs in dairy farms with clinical signs of SBV infection (case farms), and to compare those farms to a matched control group of dairy farms in which cattle did not show clinical signs of SBV infection. Herd size was significantly (p<0.001) larger in case farms (33 cows, n=77) than in control farms (25 cows, n=84). Within case herds, 14.8% (median) of the cows showed acute clinical signs. Managers from case farms indicated to have observed a higher abortion rate during the year with SBV (6.5%) than in the previous year (3.7%). Analysis of fertility parameters based on veterinary bills and data from the breeding associations showed no significant differences between case and control farms. The general veterinary costs per cow from July to December 2012 were significantly higher (p=0.02) in case (CHF 19.80; EUR 16.50) than in control farms (CHF 15.90; EUR 13.25). No differences in milk yield were found between groups, but there was a significant decrease in milk production in case farms in the second half year in 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 (p<0.001) and 2013 (p=0.009). The average daily milk yield per cow (both groups together) was +0.73kg higher (p=0.03) in the second half year 2011 and +0.52kg (p=0.12) in the second half year 2013 compared to the same half year 2012. Fifty-seven percent of the cows with acute clinical signs (n=461) were treated by a veterinarian. The average calculated loss after SBV infection for a standardized farm was CHF 1606 (EUR 1338), which can be considered as low at the national level, but the losses were subject to great fluctuations between farms, so that individual farms could have very high losses (>CHF 10,000, EUR 8333).

RESUMO

The objective of this study was to calculate the national costs associated with udder health in Switzerland and to estimate the cost effectiveness of an udder health intervention program. In 49 farms, yearly mastitis associated costs before and during an intervention were collected at herd level. Costs were calculated for each lactating cow being present in the herd. At the beginning of the intervention, 24 farms received a report with recommendations to improve the udder health. In the following year, those herds were followed-up by their veterinarian at a monthly basis. The other 25 farms were used as a negative control group and neither received any recommendations nor any follow-up. In the first year of analysis (2010), the median udder health associated costs were 209.- Swiss Francs for each lactating cow, regardless of the intervention group. During the intervention period (2012), mastitis associated costs were 191.- Swiss Francs for control farms and 396.- Swiss Francs for farms with veterinary intervention on a monthly basis. The median additional costs for herds with intervention were 159.- Swiss Francs per lactating cow. At the national level, mastitis associated costs were estimated at 129.4 millions of Swiss Francs per year. The cost effectiveness of future mastitis control programs can be evaluated with the help of the deterministic model developed during this study.


Le but du présent travail était de calculer les coûts de la santé de la mamelle dans des exploitations laitières suisses et d'estimer l'efficacité économique d'une intervention en vue de l'améliorer. Pour cela on a relevé les coûts liés aux mammites sur une année dans 49 exploitations, et cela durant l'année précédant l'intervention puis dans l'année de l'intervention et on l'a divisé par le nombre de vaches en lactation. Vingt-quatre exploitations ont reçu au début de l'étude des recommandations en vue d'améliorer la santé de la mamelle et ont ensuite été suivies mensuellement durant une année par leur vétérinaire d'exploitation. Les 25 autres exploitations n'ont reçu aucune recommandation et ont été utilisées comme groupe de contrôle. Dans la première année d'analyse (2 ans avant l'intervention, 2010), les coûts moyens de la santé de la mamelle, indépendamment du groupe s'élevaient à CHF 209.­ par vache en lactation. Durant l'année de l'intervention, ils se montaient à CHF 191.­ pour les exploitations de contrôle contre CHF 396.- pour les exploitations suivies. Les dépenses supplémentaires durant l'intervention s'élevaient en moyenne à CHF 159.­ par vache en lactation. Au niveau national, on estime les coûts liés aux mammites à CHF 129.4 millions. Les modèles de calcul utilisés dans la présente étude permettent de juger à l'avenir de la rentabilité des programmes de contrôle des mammites.

RESUMO

Comparing data from three cross-sections of the German Socio-Economic-Panel (1984, 1988, 1992), migrants who had come to Germany until 1973 showed a better state of health than the German participants. This "healthy-migrant-effect" can be demonstrated for all three morbidity indicators used in this study (restriction of daily activities due to poor health, chronic illness, disablement). After controlling for age, only the indicator "restriction of daily activities" reveals higher morbidity rates for migrants than for German participants in 1984. With increasing age morbidity also increased between 1984 and 1992, but the increase was more pronounced for migrants than for the German participants. The resulting reduction of the "healthy-migrant-effect" can be seen most clearly for the indicator "chronic illness".
