| The occurrence of pharmaceuticals in the environment was frequently reported and possible adverse effects on non-target organisms are of increasing concern. The presence of veterinary drugs in manure may cause largely unknown ecotoxicological effects. Organic animal health management puts emphasis rather on prevention than on treatment. This could be an approach to develop a more sustainable production system. The current health situation in organic farming still requires veterinary drugs. Investigating the extent of the use and the toxic potential of pharmaceuticals could demonstrate that organic farming is the less polluting system. |

| Resistance to anthelmintics is a threat to several animal industries world wide. Nevertheless, the use of effective anthelmintics to control nematode infections in cattle still remains irreplaceable. Anthelmintic resistance in cattle has been reported in New Zealand, North and South America and England but so far not in Europe. To be able to determine the extent of anthelmintic resistance in nematodes of farm animals and to monitor the success of any resistance management requires reliable tests for the detection of anthelmintic resistance. One of the objectives of PARASOL, a European Framework 6 funded project, is to produce standard operating procedures for the running of a faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT). Standardized procedures for the... |

| Gastrointestinal nematodes in small ruminants cause high economic losses. Thus on most farms anthelmintic treatment is required. In response to increasing problems with anthelmintic resistance, biological control, for example the use of nematophagous fungi, has received significant attention. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Duddingtonia flagrans orally applied to small ruminants on natural infection with gastrointestinal nematodes in a field study in Northern Germany. 20 goats and 20 sheep were fed daily for 3 months with 5x105 spores of D. flagrans per kg bodyweight. Differences in body weight, faecal egg count and larval development in faeces and on pasture in comparison with same-sized control groups were analysed. After 3 months... |

| The organic farming regulations put emphasis on the preservation of animal health by prophylaxis in the agriculture. The No 5 of the regulation EC 1804/99 (EC organic regulation) Appendix I B defines the veterinary treatments in organic animal husbandry. The veterinarian can use any medicine, which is effective for the indication and the animal species. If possible, effective homeopathics, phytotherapeutics or the like should have priority. Problems of implementing the EC organic regulation into the daily farm practice arise mostly from the doubling of the withdrawal period and the restriction of the numbers of treatments. The strict ban on prophylactic treatments is not mentioned any longer in the new regulation 834/2007, which shall apply as from 1st... |
