| One third of Swiss agricultural land is high altitude grassland. 15% of all Swiss dairy cows feed there for about 2 to 5 months during the summer. About 30 % of all alpine bulk milk samples of the Swiss province “Graubünden” exceeded the somatic cell count (SCC) of 350’000/ml. The objective of this project was to evaluate factors effecting increasing SCC on alpine pastures. Foremilk quarter samples of all lactating cows of 3 high-altitude sites (n= 128 cows) were taken once on the 12 farm valley sites (v) and three times during the summer on the alpine sites (a1 to a3). Quarter samples were investigated for microbial pathogens and SCC. Lactation number and lactation days of the cow were recorded. In the statistical models for the three alpine control dates... |

| The use of medicinal plants and other natural multicomponent remedies might be one measure to reduce the use of antibiotics in livestock. Ethnoveterinary research has the potential to identify promising natural remedies. The knowledge about remedies for livestock was collected from farmers in six central Swiss cantons, Glarus, Obwalden, Nidwalden, Schwyz, Zug and Uri. Between February and April 2013 49 interviews with 63 farmers (25 females and 38 males, aged 24–74) were conducted. We collected information on the manufacturing of 370 homemade remedies. Of these, 114 contained no plants, 26 contained a mixture of two to five plants, and 230 contained one plant species (defined as homemade single-herbal remedy report (HSHR)). These 230 HSHRs represented 68... |

| In response to increasing efforts for reducing concentrate inputs to organic dairy production in grassland-rich areas of Europe, a long-term study was conducted, which assessed the impacts of concentrate reductions on cows’ performance, health, fertility and average herd age. In total, 42 Swiss commercial organic dairy cattle farms were monitored over 6 years (‘Y0’, 2008/09 until ‘Y5’, 2013/14). In comparison with overall data of Swiss herdbooks (including conventional and organic farms), the herds involved in the project had lower milk yields, similar milk solids, shorter calving intervals and higher average lactation numbers. During the first 3 project years farmers reduced the concentrate proportion (i.e. cereals, oilseeds and grain legumes) in the... |

| The objective of this study was to assess effects on intramammary infections and somatic cell score (SCS) upon reduction antibiotic udder treatments. The study was part of an udder health programme (pro-Q) implementing preventive measures and complementary treatment methods. The treatment proportion decreased from annually 39 to 20 per 100 cows. A total of 10'000 of quarter milk samples out of 4 yearly investigations of 33 Swiss dairy herds were analysed .There was no general change in somatic cell score (SCS) considering all taken samples. A significant increase of Staphylococcus ssp. findings (12%) could be observed beside a decrease of the SCS in samples of this pathogens group. Using GLM statistical analysis, significant effects by lactation... |

| Background Antimicrobial resistance resulted in international accordance to strengthen the research to investigate novel treatment options including medicinal plants. To investigate the effect of two dosages of an orally hydro-ethanolic Echinacea purpurea (L.) MOENCH spissum extract (EP) on performance, clinical health, antibody production, red and white blood cell count and expression of immunological parameters in calves, a double-blinded placebo-controlled clinical trial has been performed. |

| Mastitis in dairy cows is a multi-causal disease. Animal husbandry is one of the important factors influencing herd udder health. In our study, skin lesion scores and cleanness scores are used as animal-based indicators for husbandry problems. We investigated the impact of husbandry on the prevalence of skin lesions and the correlation between skin lesions, cleanness and udder health in 67 herds joining the Swiss udder health project “pro-Q”. 62.8% of all examined cows had at least one skin lesion. 13% of all cows were seriously dirty. Housing factors, such as dimension and design of the lying area influenced the prevalence of skin lesions significantly. Hard surface, rubber mats, narrow dimensions of lying place, horns, as well as stanchion barns... |

| Forschung an Nutztieren basiert heute weitgehend auf der geistigen Grundhaltung, in Zucht, Haltung, Fütterung und Pflege den maximalen Grad von ausschliesslich ökonomisch orientierter Gestaltung ihrer Innen- und Umwelt herauszuarbeiten. Die Limitierung dieses Vorgehens besteht nur darin, die Grenze zur offensichtlichen Schädigung der Tiere nicht zu überschreiten. Ziel ist also eine Minimierung der Erfüllung legitimer artgemässer Ansprüche unter möglichst knapper Vermeidung daraus resultierender Krankheiten, Sterilitäten, vorzeitiger Abgänge und Leistungseinbussen. Diese Gratwanderung von Symptomfreiheit an der Grenze der Belastungsfähigkeit hat man sich angewöhnt, als Gesundheit misszuverstehen. Tiermedizinische Forschung wiederum hat weitgehend nur zum... |

| Hintergrund: Während über den traditionellen Einsatz von Arzneipflanzen durch Landwirtinnen und Landwirte beim Nutztier sowohl in Südeuropa als auch in der Schweiz zunehmend wissenschaftliche Veröffentlichungen vorliegen, fehlen gezielte Studien mit Pferdebesitzern weitestgehend. Mit der vorliegenden Studie sollte dieses Wissen exemplarisch für den Schweizer Kanton Bern erfasst werden. Probanden und Methoden: Methodisch an vorhergehende Studien in der Schweiz angelehnt, wurden von 2011-2012 7 Pferdehalter im Alter von 24-65 Jahren anhand eines semistrukturierten Fragebogens zum Einsatz von Arzneipflanzen bei ihren Pferden interviewt. Neben Informationen zu Pflanzenarten und Pflanzenteilen wurden die Zubereitung und Anwendung (inklusive Dosierung) der... |

| This chapter is the report of ANIPLAN’s deliverable 4.1 titled: ‘Evaluation report on the state of the art regarding advisor systems, education of farmers and advisors and farmer groups in the participating countries’. The seven participating countries (UK, Switzerland, Austria, The Netherlands, Norway, Germany and Denmark) had widely different approaches to advisory systems and education. This is important to consider when integrating the outcomes of the ANIPLAN project into the various systems in different countries. |

| Both consumers and governments expect quality products from healthy organic livestock. In consequence, keeping farm animals healthy has the highest priority in veterinary work on organic farms. Different Swiss FiBL projects in mastitis of the last years were aimed in health concepts conform to organic livestock principles. One project includes 20 Farms (with an average of 15 cows per farm) of a Swiss high mountain region. It puts emphasis on milking hygiene, milking technology, mastitis treatment during lactation (homeopathy versus antibiosis) and dry-off treatment (homeopathy versus placebo and partially additional antibiotic). The overall result was a reduction of cows with a somatic cell count higher than 150’000/ml based on milk recording dates... |

| Le istruzioni per la mungitura illustrate e plastificate per l'uso nella stalla mostrano il consenso a livello svizzero di come debbano essere svolti i lavori di mungitura. Al centro vi è la mucca e la sua attitudine naturale alla produzione di latte alla quale si devono orientare il mungitore e la tecnologia di mungitura, tenendo inoltre conto dell'igiene. A tergo del promemoria sono elencati gli indirizzi di consulenti e istituzioni ai quali ci si può rivolgere oltre che al veterinario in caso di domande sulla salute della mammella. Grosse ordinazioni vanno rivolte ai PSL. |

| The plant and animal health care strategy in organic farming strengthensagro-biodiversity, protects the environment as well as animal and human health. In addition to fully exploiting preventive options, the use of external inputs such as plant protection products, fertilisers or veterinarymedicinal productsis allowed to prevent inacceptable losses in productivity or animal suffering. However, external inputs need to comply with organic standardsas well as European legislationand aretherefore carefully evaluated before any decision on acceptance is taken.Organic farming systems should aim at reducing dependency on off-farm fertilisers to the lowest feasable level to ensure closed nutrient cycles and avoid nutrient leakage and contamination. This policy... |
