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
