DLN cattle
General
The
Czech Veterinary Research Institute financed by the Ministry of Agriculture is
the administrator of the Register of treatment and indications, of which a
pilot project in dairy cattle has started in January 2017. All Czech dairy
cattle herds can participate on a voluntary base.
Data collection
Animal subcategories: Three weight categories are
distinguished: calves, heifers and dairy cows.
Input: Through an online database. Farmers as well as vets can log in and are identified as such. The system has been updated with an interface that allows the uploading of data important for farmers and the farm/health status of the herd management [genetics, productivity, diagnosis, veterinary medicinal products used (VMPs), withdrawal periods].

Analysis
The
antimicrobial use is quantified well as the use of other VMPs at farm level. A
benchmarking item has been introduced. Raw use data at farm level are provided
through the online tool. Trainings of vets/farmers to spread the system were
organised in 2017/18. Summarizing results are also presented through workshops
and seminars. VMPs used are linked to indications (international code ICAR).
Cross checking is possible with invoices system (sales data in national
database provided by wholesalers).
Benchmarking
No
benchmarking is as yet performed.
