Cow Health

Dairy herd health management benefits dairy farmers, the environment, dairy cows and citizens. It is an important part of modern dairy farm veterinary care. Dairy herd health management is assessing, monitoring and improving the health of dairy cows at a population level. Good herd health management takes a holistic approach and is ongoing and cyclical. All members of the dairy farm team and their advisors are involved, decisions are informed by data generated by the herd. These data may come from numerous sources. The data are processed and analysed to monitor cow health, target investigations and evaluate progress. To make lasting change on farms, advisors must communicate appropriately with farm managers to understand behaviour and motivate change. This chapter reviews these aspects of dairy herd health management, giving practical suggestions on how to get started, how to incorporate herd health management into business models and how to maintain momentum.

Pig Farms

In Greece, organic pig farming started in 2002 and since then made significant steps forward due to the extended interesting of Greek consumer for organic products during last decade. This report aims at updating information about organic pig farming in Greece, relating production system and most health risk factors. Furthermore, in present study a animal health management program is proposed. The most common health problems that occur in the Greek organic pig farming are respiratory problems, gastrointestinal problems, claw and skin problems, parasitic infections and piglet mortality. A veterinary health management program in organic pi farms, including use of alternatives to antibiotics (prebiotics, probiotics and phytogenics), antiparasitics, appropriate vaccinations (e.g. against E. coli, M. hyo, PRRSV) and the appropriate disinfection program (e.g. rodent management with rodenticides) could be an useful tool for prevention and control diseases as well as for improvement of growth performance. In conclusion, the productivity growth in Greek organic pig farms can be increased by improving the living conditions of animals and the implementation of preventive measures (e.g. vaccination programs, treatments with phototherapeutics) that reduce mortality rates (especially during the winter months). For this reason the application of a herd health management program is necessary in organic pig farms.
