Preventive measures e.g. management,

housing conditions, biosecurity

Principles for responsible medication in Finland

• Visit by veterinarian and clinical inspection

• Sampling and bacteriological diagnosis

• Antimicrobial susceptibility testing

• Choice of the medication based on the Recommendations of

the Finnish Food Safety Authority for the Use of Antimicrobials

against the Most Common Infectious Diseases of Animals

• As narrow spectrum antibiotic as possible

• Right dosage and sufficient treatment time

• No mass medication as preventive treatment or growth promoter

• Medicine bookkeeping obligatory for farmers and veterinarians

• Withdrawal period must be followed

• Chain information of every batch to the slaughterhouse

Resistance situation has been favourable

• Indicator bacteria are collected from broilers at slaughter every third year in accordance to FINRES-Vet

• resistance levels in E. coli have been low or moderate

• the most common resistance traits are seen among enterococci

• Resistance in C. jejuni in broilers is low

• only resistance against ampicillin exceeded 10 %

• Salmonella findings from poultry are mainly sporadic and resistance is rare

Broiler breeder flocks have been medicated

due to tenosynovitis.

Necrotic enteritis has been the main reason for the

antimicrobial medication of meat turkey flocks.
