Medication of production animals--cure of malfunctioning animals or production systems?

Acta Vet Scand Suppl

Danish Dairy Board, Aarhus, Denmark.

Published: October 2004

AI Article Synopsis

  • Medication is widely used in intensive animal production, raising concerns about antibiotic resistance in both animals and humans; reports indicate a risk of transmitting multi-resistant bacteria through food.
  • Danish livestock use significantly more antibiotics than humans, yet this increase hasn't led to a rise in mortality rates or serious health issues for humans.
  • There's a need to limit medication for animals to only those that are clinically diseased, rather than using it for the entire herd to promote growth, to better manage health systems in production.

Article Abstract

Medication is used in all intensive animal productions. However, the increasing problems with resistant bacteria in all animal productions and in humans are supported by a number of reports. Special attention is given to the risk for transmitting food-borne (multi) resistant zoonotic agents to humans due to failure in antibiotic treatment resulting in lower cure rates or higher case fatality rates. The use of medication in humans per se is capable of selecting for resistance in human pathogens. Nevertheless, the amount of used medication/antimicrobials in treatment of Danish production animals goes far beyond the amount used for human consumption. The increase in consumption has not been followed by a similarly increased mortality, e.g. illustrated by the number of rendered animals, increased use of injection medicine for veterinary treatments of diseased animals, or increased number of remarks on the carcasses from the slaughterhouses. Medication in animal production is facing its limits and relevant economic alternatives have to be developed. The strategy for the future must concentrate on using medication only for clinically diseased animals and not as a strategic treatment of the whole herd in order to maximise growth and camouflage of suboptimal production systems and insufficient management.
