1 Voluntary national measures taken by the stakeholders to ensure animal health, welfare and food safety Updated
2 OPERATING PHILOSOPHY To maintain and promote health and welfare of production animals by: Focusing on preventive measures; e.g. by instructing import of animals, embryos, semen and feed. Coordinating national health care schemes. Maintaining on-line herd health databases as a tool for stakeholders (Naseva for cattle and Sikava for swine). With these measures we will also manage the risk of contagious animal diseases and ensure the food safety.
3 Background: WAS FOUNDED Need to maintain the excellent animal health status in Finland. 2. Need to manage the risks brought by the EU membership Free Trade. 3. Broad consensus by all stakeholders in primary production: farmers, food and feed industry etc. 4. Willingness to take the responsibility voluntarily. focus on prevention 5. ETT got a mandate from the stakeholders to make rules to ensure the animal health status. commitment of the stakeholders
4 ORGANIZATION Ordinary members - Dairies - Slaughterhouse companies - Egg packing companies Passive members: - Farmers Union - Feed industry, breeding companies - Agricultural advisory centers - Rural educational establishments - Helsinki University - Insurance companies - Personal members: vets, farmers etc. = those dealing with primary production Annual meeting Executive Committee Quality commitments between farmers and industry to obey ETT`s rules and instructions
5 PERSONNEL 5 vets (Executive manager + 4 veterinary advisors) 2 register officers (Naseva and Sikava) 1 treasurer Two offices; Seinäjoki and Lievestuore
6 RULES AND QUIDELINES Made by ETT together with ETUworking teams and veterinary expert groups ETU- Working teams for swine herds, dairy herds, beef herds and poultry; laying hens and broilers / turkeys. - Delegates from farms, industry, practising vets, researchers, advisory organizations etc. To achieve national consensus Regular meetings coordinated by ETT Authorities are invited in these meetings Internatiol network and personal contacts
7 HOW TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE Everybody in the food chain is conscious of the risks. Carrots and sticks: nobody is going to pay if you take the risk and fail. Understanding the importance (effectiviness) of prevention. Information in simple model =>web sites: Training, education.
8 PREVENTION AT FARM LEVEL What a single farmer can do to keep good health situation ETT:s ten orders = biosecurity measures for every sector: 1. How to keep the pathogens out of the country or out of the farm (ASF, BT, AI, salmonella..) => instructions for animal trade etc. 2. How to eradicate / minimize pathogens in the country / on the farm (Enzootic pneumonia, BVD, mange, salmonella.) 3. How to improve / sustain the herd immunity (AI-AO, age segregation..) Principles of prevention Less pathogen Better immunity
9 PREVENTION ANIMAL TRADE ETT:s quidelines = additional requirements of the industry: every import supervised / approved case by case by ETT Buying confirm the disease situation / disease freedom in advance, by testing if necessary (protocols from Selling separate loading areas, separate transport, cleaning procedures, documentation Health certificates, quarantines
10 PREVENTION FEED CONTROL Feed hygiene on farms keep feed chain and manure apart (VTEC, salmonella). Rodent control, wild birds (salmonella, AI, ND). Buy imported feed only from the companies which are approved in ETT:s Positive List. Quality commitments between farmers and industry to obey ETT:s rules and instructions. ETT:s ten orders have been taken as a part of the salmonella group insurance conditions.
11 THE POSITIVE LIST Since 1995 Voluntary feed control for salmonella before use Quality contracts with transports and storages How to act, if salmonella is found in feed / feed mill 3 categories: importers, feed mills, feed mixing contractors The Positive List is published every week in Farmers magazine
12 Documented health status in databases: Naseva: 65 % of cattle herds, 80 % of production Sikava: 90 % of swine herds, 95 % of production ETTry/pk
13 DATA IN, NASEVA AND SIKAVA Via interface: Meat Inspection data from slauhgterhouses Mastitis analyses from dairy labs Health codes and medications from vets databases and farmers databases (Ammu, WinPig) Production data from Pro Agria Manual recordings in database: Vets visits observations and the Health Plan Serological analyses from Evira Salmonella analyses from labs Animal imports Automatic information (SMS) to farmers mobile phone Automatic alarm system (diseases, symtoms, lab results) to slaughterhouse, dairy, vet and ETT
14 Vets DATA OUT, NASEVA AND SIKAVA - Vet intra: special news or announcements only to vets - Access to all data of the farms the vet has a health care contract with Slaughterhouses / dairies - Access to all data of the farms they have a production contract with - Get alarm in case of exceptional situation Other persons involved (e.g. ProAgria) - With farmers permission Naseva and Sikava (vets, register officers) - National situation, all farms
