College of Veterinarians of Ontario
impact of absence of growth promotants
impact of raised without antibiotics (welfare,
financial)
develop cost effective alternatives to antibiotics
such as probiotics and cost-effective vaccines
understand drivers of usage of antibiotics
establish management techniques to support
reduced usage
expanded labeling (esp sheep and goats) of
antibiotics, reduce impediments to labeling
specific disease control
withdrawal times
share data worldwide, learn from other programs
develop and assess new antibiotics
veterinarians contribute to coordinated, integrated
research (government veterinarians, industry
groups, government, researchers)
emphasize strong research infrastructure
more risk assessment research
identify influences of stakeholder and producer
utilization of antibiotics
need investment by industry
research foodborne diseases, establish
understanding of normal flora
research good management practices
impact of free trade
identify the highest risk activities that create
resistance on farms
research link between use on farm use and
resistance
standardize veterinary lab data and produce
information identifying antibiotic resistance
patterns
expand CIPARS, laboratory data
systematic review of existing data by expert panel
understand antibiotic use on farms, by feed
companies
inventory available government funding to
address resistance and consumer education
traced back to producer
reported to veterinarians
violations would result in mandatory creation of
SOPs
support for CgFARAD
traceability required for QA
