• Bovine calves slaughtered at ~5 months
• CH: ~30% of orally administered antibiotics to veal calves(ARCH-Vet, 2014; Proviande, 2015)
• Main reason for treatment is pneumonia
• Treatment incidence 21±15 resp. 12.5 days/calf-year(Lava et al., 2016a,b; Schnyder et al., 2019)

Susceptibility testing (of E. coli and Pasteurellaceae)
Fattening period
Start:
nasopharygeal
and rectal
swabbing
End:
nasopharygeal
and rectal
swabbing
• Isolation of bacteria of the respiratory tract
and indicator bacteria of the guts
• 7012 samples were taken (isolation of 3551E. coli
and 2282 Pasteurellaceae)
• Minimal inhibitory concentration susceptibility testing is ongoing

• No random assignment of participating farmers to groups
• Farmers in ‘outdoor veal calf’ group may be innovative
• For outdoor hutches, sufficient surface is needed

• Drastic reduction of treatment incidence and mortality
• No difference in daily weight gain
• Implementation according to principles of risk reduction
• In toto- or adapted use of concept (in case of local restraints)
