APPENDIX 1 Prudent use of antibiotics – Global basic principles [A paper co-sponsored by the World Veterinary Association, International Federation of Agricultural Producers and Confederation Mondiale de l’Industrie De La Sante Animale,1999.] This paper presents a set of principles governing the prudent use of antibiotics in animals, elaborated jointly by the international representative organisations of veterinarians, farmers, and the pharmaceutical industry. The following recommendations focus on the use and not on regulatory measures such as licensing and controls. Note: For convenience the word ‘antibiotic’ is used throughout this document; it is intended to convey all antimicrobial products administered orally or parenterally to animals, i.e. antibiotics (produced by fermentation of live micro-organisms) but also chemically-synthesised compounds with antibiotic activity such as sulphonamides and quinolones; it does not include disinfectants. 1 Antibiotics are health management tools that are licensed to be used to enhance good husbandry practices for the purpose of: � disease prevention � disease treatment � production enhancement. It is a fact that certain antibiotics may be used in food animals for performance enhancement, which leads to benefits in terms of animal welfare, reduction of environmental waste and supply of economical high quality sources of protein. Future conditions of use of antibiotics for this indication is pending the outcome of on-going investigations and international meetings. Antibiotics are a complement to good husbandry practices and should never be used to compensate for or mask bad farm and veterinary practices. 2 Codes of practice, quality assurance programs, flock health surveillance programs and education programs should promote the responsible and prudent use of antibiotics. 3 Antibiotics shall be used under the supervision of a veterinarian. Regular, close veterinary involvement is essential for informed advice concerning the use of antibiotics. Regardless of the distribution system available, the use of antibiotics should be subject to appropriate professional advice, including by a veterinarian. 4 Therapeutic antibiotics should be used when it is known or suspected that an infectious agent is present which will be susceptible to therapy. It is the responsibility of the veterinarian to choose the antibiotic product, based on his/her informed professional judgment balancing the risks and benefits for humans and animals.
