Acquisition of Drug Consumption in Pig Production in Austria
In recent years,antibiotic usage in veterinary medicine has heen under discussion because of the development of antimicrobial resistances,which could limit human treatment possibilities.Quantification of drugs used in veterinary medicine is therefore of great public conce.rn and importance.Exact measuring of veterinary antimicrobial consumption is challenging however.In this paper a hottom-up study is contrasted to the European Surveillance of Veterinary Antimicrobial Consumption Project ESVAC 1,2,which follows a top-down approach to measure antibiotic usage.ESVAC registers the quantities of antimicrobial products sold for treating food-producing animals in the European member states.Unfortunately,it doesnt give any information of antimicrobial consumption on animal species level.Also,results are expressed in total weight of antihiotic substances consumed per Population Correction Unit (PCU),which may lead to false interpretation,as therapeutic potency differs from one antimicrobial substance to another one.In this study,drug application data were collected in the context of a quality-securing system in an Austrian meat production company.The ambition was to develop a pilot bottom-up system for veterinary drug application monitoring.
