Managing wild boar populations to protect against African swine fever

Many countries around the world are currently in the grip of an African swine fever (ASF) outbreak. ASF is a viral haemorrhagic disease causing up to 100% fatality in domestic and wild pigs, for which there is no effective vaccine or treatment. This disease does not infect humans but causes economic losses which threaten food and nutritional security, affect trade, and present a serious challenge for sustained pig production...[Read more<http://www.fao.org/ag/againfo/programmes/en/empres/news_221119.html>]

Healthy animals, happy farmers!

When you get sick, your first thought might be to get antibiotics from your doctor. However, what you may not realise is that this seemingly small decision can have huge consequences on the health of both your specific community and society as a whole. The misuse and overuse of antimicrobials, including antibiotics, is causing a growing problem...[Read more<http://www.fao.org/fao-stories/article/en/c/1251417/>]

FAO projects and tools target antimicrobial resistance awareness and reduction
FAO Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia



It was a sunny morning, and the farmer stepped out of his house to visit his 3 000 hens. Astonished, he found many of his animals dead, others were laying down showing breathing difficulties. Scared and desperate, he instantly started collecting the bird carcases while thinking of what he should do. As the last time he got sick, the doctor prescribed him antibiotics...[Read more<http://www.fao.org/europe/news/detail-news/en/c/1251936/>]

[cid:image004.jpg@01D5A122.41F23510]Prudent and efficient use of antimicrobials in pigs and poultry

FAO Animal Production and Health Manual No. 23



Antimicrobials are widely used in both humans and livestock and have greatly contributed to better human and animal health. However, these benefits are being threatened by the global emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Because humans and animals often share the same bacteria and may be treated with the same types of antibacterial drugs, resistance to antibiotics is the most critical aspect of AMR for the livestock sector. One way to mitigate the emergence of AMR is to reduce the overall use of antibiotics by combining prudent and medically rational use with other disease preventive measures. This manual will contribute to addressing the challenge of AMR by promoting the prevention of infections and the prudent use of antibiotics in the pig and poultry sectors, the livestock sectors that generally have the highest use of antibiotics. It should be regarded as a practical complement to national governance and regulatory measures. The manual is intended to assist pharmacists, veterinarians...[Download full manual<http://www.fao.org/3/ca6729en/CA6729EN.pdf>]





[cid:image005.jpg@01D5A122.41F23510]African swine fever in wild boar ecology and biosecurity mechanisms in Ghana

FAO Animal Production and Health Manual No. 22



The purpose of document is to provide fact based overview of ASF ecology in the Northern and Eastern European populations of wild boar and briefly describe a range of practical management and biosecurity measures or interventions, which can help stockholders in the countries experiencing large scale epidemic of this exotic disease to address the problem in a more coherent, collaborative and comprehensive way. The handbook should not be viewed as an authoritative manual providing readymade solutions on how to eradicate ASF from wild boar. The facts, observations and approaches described in the document are presented with the intention to broadly inform veterinary authorities, wildlife conservation bodies, hunting community, farmers and general public about complexity of this novel disease and the need to wisely plan and carefully coordinate any efforts aiming at its prevention and control...[Download full manual<http://www.fao.org/3/ca5987en/CA5987EN.pdf>]

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has embarked on supporting countries to improve the capacity of their veterinary services through the implementation of an in-service training programme that targets frontline veterinary staff, mentors and trainers. This two-page document has been created to raise awareness and gain support for the Frontline In-Service Applied Veterinary Epidemiology Training (ISAVET) programme before it launches at the national level in 14 countries in 2020. The programme was created in order to combat the emergence and spread of animal diseases, zoonoses, and related threats such as antimicrobial resistance, which all pose a serious threat to global health security. The programme is designed to help frontline veterinary staff to fill in the gaps in the animal health sector to prevent, detect and respond to outbreaks in a timely manner and therefore protect human health, reduce animal losses, assure consumer protection, promote safe...[Download brochure<http://www.fao.org/3/ca7015en/CA7015EN.pdf>]
