“…Therefore, T. suis infections will probably regain importance in pig production due to the increasing demand for pork derived from extensive and free-range husbandry. Despite the fact that this branch of pig production is associated with a high standard of animal welfare, animal health and its impact on animal welfare are discussed far less frequently and sometimes even stand in contrast to common expectations of consumers due to the bad reputation of routine antibiotic therapy [ 15 , 16 ]. This case highlights the importance of animal health care (including proper anthelmintic treatment after correct diagnosis) for animal welfare as well as sustainable productivity.…”

Trichurosis on a Conventional Swine Fattening Farm with Extensive Husbandry—A Case Report

Helminth infections of swine regain clinical and economic importance due to the increasing demand for pork from extensive husbandry. Infections with Trichuris suis in pigs can lead to wasting and diarrhoea. This was demonstrated by a case of clinical trichurosis on a conventional fattening farm, where pigs were kept on pasture. While all pre-fattening pigs, which had not been on the pasture yet, had a good body condition and firm faeces, diarrhoea and poor body condition were observed in approximately half of the fattening pigs kept on pasture. Rectally collected faecal samples from all animals were investigated using faecal flotation. High numbers of T. suis eggs were detected in 17 out of 32 faecal samples, while all samples from pre-fattening pigs were negative. The highest number of eggs per gram of faeces was 778,000. Two out of three environmental samples were also positive for T. suis in faecal flotation. This case demonstrates that T. suis must be considered as an enteropathogen in pigs kept on pasture, as favourable environmental conditions, and the lack of removal of faeces from a pasture can lead to the accumulation of large numbers of infective eggs in the pigs’ surroundings.

“…En effet, l'analyse de la littérature montre que si la perception des vétérinaires et des éleveurs est assez réservée sur une réduction trop importante de l'usage des antibiotiques (encadré 2), les consommateurs considèrent qu'élever des animaux sans antibiotique est un gage de meilleure santé et de respect du bien-être, plébiscitant le « no » (i.e. sans usage d'antibiotiques), sans avoir conscience de l'intérêt des antibiotiques pour le soin aux animaux, et ce alors qu'ils affirment que le bien-être des animaux est une de leurs préoccupations (Bradford et al, 2022).…”

Réflexion participative pour une optimisation de l’usage d’antibiotiques garantissant santé et bien-être des porcs et volailles

L'utilisation d'antibiotiques a diminué de près de 50 % dans les filières avicoles et porcines françaises en 15 ans. Cependant, cette évolution a été plus ou moins importante selon les élevages, et la mise en place de labels « sans antibiotiques » a pu se traduire dans certains cas par des excès de réduction d’usage des antibiotiques, au détriment de la santé et du bien-être des animaux. Pour avancer dans la rationnalisation du recours aux antibiotiques, une démarche participative a été menée, associant des représentants des vétérinaires praticiens, des interprofessions porcine et avicole, des instituts techniques, du ministère de l’agriculture et des chercheurs. L’article présente les étapes majeures de la démarche et leurs résultats, concernant la vision à long terme partagée par le groupe sur l'utilisation des antibiotiques en élevage, et l’analyse des verrous à lever pour avancer vers l’objectif partagé. Les résultats montrent entre autres l'importance de la standardisation et de la diffusion de dispositifs de suivi, à l’échelle de la ferme, de la santé et du bien-être des animaux, de l'utilisation des antibiotiques et du niveau de résistance aux antibiotiques, afin de permettre aux éleveurs et vétérinaires de piloter avec précision l’usage des antibiotiques. Les deux autres champs d’action du collectif concernent i) le besoin d'une meilleure communication et information des consommateurs sur la question de la santé animale, du bien-être et du bon usage des antibiotiques et ii) la compétitivité économique de la filière et la viabilité économique des exploitations qui veulent investir en prévention.

“…(Van Loo et al, 2020) examined the various factors that influence the determinism of poultry meat properties and has broken down quality into six properties; commercial, organoleptic, nutritional, technological, sanitary, and image, with the latter covering the ethical, cultural, and environmental dimensions associated with how meat is produced, as well as its origin, and being highly valued in many quality labels. (Bradford et al, 2022) Consumer views of the "raised without antibiotics" label can be used to identify whether or not they are aware of the label and what motivates them to buy antibiotic-free products. (Bett et al, 2013) determined how consumers would react to a price rise for indigenous chicken products and how much they would be ready to pay in the market.…”

The demographic for the answer is made up of Indian customers, namely those from the state of Chhattisgarh, which has a diversified population. Though the study discloses Indian consumers' views, it restricts the likelihood of the western world adopting them. Several poultry products have yet to be discovered due to a paucity of resources. The research data is examined using ANOVA, although there is space for further analysis using several alternative statistical tools.
