Swedish Poultry Meat Association
General
From 2011, the Swedish Poultry Meat Association
(SPMA) requests their members to report all treatments of broilers, parents and
grandparents as part of the Poultry health control programme. It covers > 95% of the commercial poultry meat production.
Data Collection
Animal subcategories: differentiation between
grandparents, parents and production animals is made. Producers are responsible
for submitting antibiotic use data. Vets are obliged to report to the SBA. The
number of flocks treated is recorded.
Analysis
Indication
based AMU is reported as the number of treated flocks per total
number of flocks.
Benchmarking & Reporting
Farm-level
benchmarking is not performed because of very low treatment incidence but data
are reported to the SBA and to the National Veterinary Institute (SVA) and
summary data are published in the yearly report Swedres-Svarm.
