SafeOrganic: Lowering Antibiotic Resistance in Organic Pig Farming

The SafeOrganic project aims to reduce antibiotic resistance levels in organic pigs, ensuring safer, high-quality products with fewer antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Led by Søren Aabo, the project examines AR cross-contamination at slaughter and its correlation with antibiotic consumption. Sampling methods include colon content and carcass swabs, with results to be presented at the closing seminar in Copenhagen. Collaborating countries are Denmark, Sweden, France, Italy, and the Czech Republic.

Presentation Transcript

  1. SafeOrganic: Restrictive use of antibiotics in organic pig farming- a potential for safer, high quality products with less antibiotic resistant bacteria Project leader: Søren Aabo (DTU) Partner countries: Denmark (DTU & UCPH) Sweden (SVA) France (ANSES) Italy (IZSVe) Czech Rep. (VRI)

  2. Objectives - SafeOrganic: • To document potential lower AR levels in organic pigs • To investigate the level of AR cross-contamination at slaughter • To investigate at possible a correlation between observed AR and consumption of antibiotics

  3. Cross-contamination with resistant bacteria? ? In = Out Sampling colon content (in) Carcass swab (out)

  4. SafeOrganic closing seminar 30th October 2014 Copenhagen
