| The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of measures as part of an animal health plan on 17 organic sow farms in Germany. A weak-point analysis was performed using a modified critical control point concept for on-farm assessment and detailed status quo analysis. Optimisation strategies were set up in form of farmcustomized health plans based on the status quo assessment. Farms were attended continuously to ensure guidance along the animal health plan implementation. The results of the status quo analysis confirmed the deficits in animal health management from previous studies. Results showed that only 10 farms met the demands of the EC-Regulation with respect to housing conditions. Only 12 farms performed a comprehensive livestock... |

| Occurrence of MRSA was assessed on 42 organic and 88 conventional pig herds in different regions of Germany by taking dust samples and nasal swabs. The number of nasal swabs was adapted to the herd size so that a MRSA-prevalence of 5 % could be detected. All samples were selectively enriched and cultured on MRSA-selective chromagar. All cultured isolates were confirmed by PCR. In addition, the spa-types were identified. The results of this cross-sectional study showed that 11 of the 42 (26%) examined organic pig herds were identified as MRSA-positive, whereas 92 % of the conventional pig herds were identified as MRSA-positive. In both husbandry systems, similar spa-types (t011, t034) were identified, which are associated with the MRSA ST398. To find out... |
