PARTICIPANT SELECTION
Beef farmers Breeders Rearers Beef from dairy
High risk High prevalence Achievers and Aspirants Prevention and control programmes
1) GROUP MEETING
2 hour training workshop – on farm or suitable location
Group size 5 – 10
Three main areas to cover in training:
1. BRD risks and causes Environment
Pathogens
Susceptibility
2. BRD prevention and control Biosecurity
Bio-containment
Resilience
Surveillance
3. Treatment of clinical cases and metaphylaxis Appropriate use of antimicrobials
Use of non-steroidals and steroids
Case selection and monitoring progress
Don’t give it all away at the first meeting!
Objective is to engage farmers to progress to
later stages and get the benefits of farm specific health planning for the
prevention and control of respiratory disease
2) FARM VISITS – 3 HOURS+ 1 HOUR TO CREATE BRD HEALTH PLAN1. Complete BRD risk assessment on myhealthyheerd.com –
entry and spread risks
2. Collect surveillance data that exists or look for yourself
3. Set up surveillance strategy and tasks
4. Collect samples if specific pneumonia a problem and surveillance strategy requires it (eg IBR, Mycoplasma etc)
5. Create BRD health plan (1 hour max) using myhealthyherd Prevention
Control
Treatment
Vaccination
3) GROUP WORKSHOP – 2 HOURS
Organise workshop training meeting for the BRD group
Meet at a participant’s farm
1. Review BRD health plan
2. Demonstrate implementation
3. Discuss results
4. Motivate others
DO WE BELIEVE IN PREVENTIVE MEDICINE?CAN WE SELL IT?
Dr Sibley, I am reading about
pneumonia. I don’t have this disease but I would like to pay you to come
out here and advise me on how to avoid
getting it. Thank you.
PRINCIPLES
An well-planned control programme will enable you to: Prevent pneumonia Control Pneumonia Treat pneumonia
Strategically Effectively And get paid for it!

THE FOUR PILLARS SUPPORTING THE DISEASE
STATUS OF A HERD
THE FOUR PILLARS SUPPORTING THE DISEASE
STATUS OF A HERDIntuitively, veterinarians test and
treat
Testing alone never controlled or prevented a disease
Vaccination has limitations
Biosecurity and bio-containment need to be part of disease
prevention and control
THE ASPIRATION HIERARCHY
Decide on aspiration Tolerance Control Eradication and
freedom Depends on
Resource Priorities Economic benefits
TREATMENT: IMPORTANT TO US AND THEM
Strategy
Detail
Best practice
Using MHH to create treatment plans
BASIC PLANNING
Use the health planning section of myhealthyherd.com
You can get full access, but you will need membership
Farmers can access the Health Planner module for free
USING MYHEALTHYHERD.COM Beef or dairy herds
Up to three “herds” per farm
Use strategically
Find your way around before you go to the farm
Try to use it “live” and engage the farmer
Paper based data collection forms are available from the Resources section of the site
BIOSECURITY RISK ASSESSMENT: THE RISKS OF PATHOGENS ENTERING THE HERD
Complete general biosecurity risk assessment (cattle, people and objects)
Then complete disease specific risks for Bovine Pneumonia
Myhealthyherd will do the maths
BIOSECURITY RISKS
The report will form the summary and basis of a biosecurity plan:
For herds that have not yet been affected by BRD
For herds that are affected , have high aspirations and wish to control the disease
RISKS OF SPREAD:4) RESILIENCE RISKS
Resilience, natural or acquired
Husbandry factors are important
Control strategies may be based on resilience if these are shown to be the biggest risks
RISKS OF SPREAD: OVERALL
This summary will be the main discussion document leading to a prevention and control plan
Skills will be required to get to this point Three hours of your time should be allocated to
get to this point
BIOSECURITY PLANNING
The prevention of disease coming in to the herd
Risk reduction rather than risk elimination
Identify the hazards and manage them
BIOSECURITY PLANNING
Like all good health plans: V = Valued E = Effective S = Specific P = Practical A = Agreed
SURVEILLANCE PLANS
What disease is present in the herd?
How do you find out? Ask Count Assess Get a
better system Specific
diagnoses
PREVALENCE AND RISK PREDICTION
Set priorities and create a starting point What is likely to happen if you do nothing? Knowing is not enough
THE CONTROL PLAN
Concentrate on risk management Vaccines alone are unlikely to work Vaccine compliance is not good Skill and judgements are required VESPA
