Abstract

Background: With much effort from both vets and producers, antibiotic use in the pig sector has been reduced by 74 per cent since 2015, as reported by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (2023). That being said, there is still room for improvement and efforts must now be aligned to tackling areas of inappropriate antibiotic use rather than simply reductions in use. Previous research has identified significant differences in antibiotic use across different systems and so strategies to decrease use or improve antibitoic stewardship in the commercial sector may not be suitable for keepers of small numbers of pigs; contributing factors to inappropriate use across all systems must be understood and addressed.

Aim of the article: In this article, the second in a two-part series on working with small-scale pig keepers, we discuss steps that supervising vets may take to encourage antibiotic stewardship on small-scale pig holdings, from pet pigs to small-scale producers. Part one of this series, published in last month's In Practice, provided advice and information regarding UK pig-specific legislation.

与小规模养猪户合作。第二部分：鼓励抗生素管理

背景：根据兽医药品管理局（2023 年）的报告，在兽医和生产商的共同努力下，养猪业的抗生素使用量自 2015 年以来已减少了 74%。尽管如此，仍有改进的余地，现在必须努力解决抗生素使用不当的问题，而不仅仅是减少使用。以往的研究发现，不同系统在抗生素使用方面存在显著差异，因此在商业领域减少抗生素使用或提高抗生素管理水平的策略可能并不适合饲养少量猪只的饲养者；必须了解并解决导致所有系统不当使用抗生素的因素：本文是与小规模养猪户合作系列文章两部分中的第二部分，我们将讨论主管兽医可以采取哪些措施来鼓励小规模养猪场（从宠物猪到小规模生产商）严格使用抗生素。本系列文章的第一部分发表在上个月的《实践》杂志上，提供了有关英国养猪法规的建议和信息。
