Current (and planned) arrangements for monitoring of antimicrobial use in livestock, antimicrobial residues in livestock products and surveillance for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in animal pathogens

10

• Compulsory by The Drug Acts B.E. 2510 (1967) for manufacturer and importer to submit an annual report concerning the production or importation of drugs

• Therefore, the available data to estimate the use of antimicrobial drugs from are the quantities of the antimicrobial agents manufactured and imported.

11

• To control the use of veterinary medicines in farm animals, the prescriptions from farm veterinarians who look after animal health and farm management are required following the Ministerial Notifications of Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives on Livestock Farm Standard of Thailand

• These Ministerial Notifications stipulated that the livestock standard farms (the farms certified for GAP by the DLD) must have the farm veterinarians to look after animal health.

• He/she must be qualified in accordance with the Veterinary Practitioner Act B.E. 2545 (2002) and passed the farm veterinarian training course of the DLD and licensed by the DLD.

• The animal treatment of the farm veterinarians must comply with the Code of Practice for Control of the Use of Veterinary Drugs (TAS 9032-2009) issued by Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives which is in compliance with the Code of Practice for Control of the Use of Veterinary Drugs (CAC/REP 38–1993) of Codex.

• The farm veterinarian must have his/her prescription records kept at least two years, and presented when required by the DLD.

12

• Residue Monitoring Committee has been appointed by DLD to drawing up residue monitoring plan for livestock, coordinating the monitoring activities of the central, regional, provincial and district livestock offices and collecting data to evaluate the results and the residue control system.

• If non-compliance is found, the result will be reported to the officers who submitted the samples immediately so that the officer is able to take action immediately.

• The non-compliant farm and farm veterinarian will be under investigation and measures will be taken according to the DLD Notification on Residues Control Measures.

13

• Surveillance of AMR in animal pathogens conducted by the DLD includes:

• Samples from slaughterhouses (E.coli, Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp. Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens, Listeria monocytogenes, Enterococci)

• Samples from diagnostic cases (E.coli, Salmonella spp.)

14

Patterns and extent of AMR in animal pathogens

• 807 isolates of coagulase positive staphylococci cultured from milk samples are MRSA 10 samples or 1.2 % (multiplex PCR method)

• Prevalence of VRE in chickens during 2007-2011, VRE was detected in 3 samples from the total of 17,393 samples.

15

Action Plan

• Thai FDA set up new committee to re-evaluate the status of AM drugs, this committee comprises both medical doctors, veterinarians and pharmacists. The first non – official meeting will be held this month (May 2013)

• DLD set up committee of MRR to collect and collate AMR data

Action Plan

• DLD set up new regulation to control and eliminate Salmonella in poultry farms by stamping out

• DLD and Thai FDA amended drug law especially the part of veterinary drug to focus on Medicated Feed, farm mixing and pharmacovigilance
