Join dairy farmer Abi Reader and veterinary specialist Dr James Breen (University of Nottingham & QMMS Ltd) to discuss rational and responsible use of antibiotic on farm.
We will be discussing:
– How antibiotic use can be measured using the AHDB antimicrobial
use calculator tool
– How antibiotic use varies between herds, covering Welsh
Antibiotic Awareness project results
– The impact of mastitis and dry cow therapy in antibiotic use on
farm, with Abi’s thoughts on the implementation of selective dry cow therapy in her herd
– Preventing the need for antibiotics, with particular reference
to calf health, where Abi has reduced antibiotic use by 80% in the last
5 years, and mastitis control where James continues to work with herds as part of the AHDB Dairy Mastitis Control Plan
– What may be applied to YOUR herd
Ymunwch â’r ffermwr llaeth, Abi Reader, a’r arbenigwr milfeddygol, Dr James Breen (Prifysgol Nottingham a QMMS Ltd) i drafod defnydd rhesymol a chyfrifol o driniaeth wrthfiotig ar y fferm.
Byddwn yn trafod y canlynol:
– Sut ellir mesur y defnydd o driniaeth wrthfiotig gan ddefnyddio
adnodd cyfrifo defnydd triniaeth gwrthficrobaidd AHDB
– Sut mae’r defnydd o driniaeth wrthfiotig yn amrywio rhwng
buchesi, gan gynnwys canlyniadau prosiect Ymwybyddiaeth Gwrthfiotigau Cymru
– Effaith mastitis a therapi buchod sych ar ddefnydd o driniaeth
wrthfiotig ar y fferm, ynghyd â barn Abi ynglŷn â defnyddio therapi buchod sych dethol o fewn ei buches
– Atal yr angen am driniaeth wrthfiotig, gyda phwyslais penodol ar
iechyd y llo, ble mae Abi wedi sicrhau lleihad o 80% yn y defnydd o driniaeth wrthfiotig dros y pum mlynedd diwethaf, a rheoli mastitis, ble mae James yn parhau i weithio gyda buchesi fel rhan o Gynllun Rheoli Mastitis AHDB Llaeth
– Beth ellir ei wneud gyda’ch buches chi
