1 WORLD ASSOCIATION FOR BUIATRICS WELT-GESELLSCHAFT FÜR BUIATRIK SOCIÉTÉ MONDIALE DE BUIATRIE ASOCIACIÓN MUNDIAL DE BUIATRIA Newsletter st World Veterinary Congress Prague, Czech Republic, September 17-20, 2013 Dear Colleagues, There are going to be some very interesting and relevant veterinary congresses this year in Europe. In addition to National Congresses, Middle European Congress will be held in Belgrade, ECBHM Congress in Bern and ICPD in Uppsala. Certainly these will be very valuable and important meetings. Another very important global event will be held from 17 to 20 September 2013 in Prague, Czech Republic. There will be organized the 31 st World Veterinary Congress including a buiatrics section. I believe that after a successful MEBC, which took place in Brno in 2010, this Congress will also be scientifically as well as socially on a very high level. The invited guests, as well as active signed in participants guarantee a worthwhile scientific program. The Congress will take place in Prague - historical and cultural centre- heart of Europe, which will definitely contribute to overall great atmosphere. World Veterinary Congress will be a place for meeting colleagues and friends, for pleasant moments in nice and interesting places in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. For those who are interested there will be organized an interesting program of events and the opportunity to visit the farm of dairy cattle. I would like to invite you and your colleagues to this important world event. More information is available on the Doc. DVM. Josef Illek, DSc. Dipl. ECBHM President of the Czech Association *** *** *** 1

2 News from WBC 2014, Cairns, Australia It has always seemed to be a long way off but in March 2013 the World Congress for 2014 is closer than we all think. We have in place all of the basics for a great congress. The Cairns Convention Centre is being trialled during the Australian Veterinary Association Conference in May this year, where we will expect to have about 1200 delegates. Our association has more than 20 special interest groups associated. This congress does not only cover the mainstream of veterinary practice but gives all of those attending the opportunity to expand their knowledge into such areas as practice management, both small and large animal behaviour, public health, conservation biology, welfare, acupuncture, education, and our own history. There will be 8 streams running simultaneously. It is a great conference with which to be involved. It also gives us the feedback for our congress in areas such as logistics at the congress centre and for the social events, as well as ease of access for delegates to the centre and the running of simultaneous streams. Preparations are well under way and we hope that you are also preparing to come to Cairns to join with us for the WBC2014. Kind Regards Bob Rheinberger and WBC2014 Committee *** *** *** News from the British Cattle Veterinary Association The British Cattle Veterinary Association would like to provide details of its forthcoming activities and invite your members to our events.

Cattle Practice has grown in stature and recognition since its beginnings as the Congress Proceedings, and aims to become one of the preeminent cattle-focused journals in Europe, if not the world. However, it will also remain an outlet for practitioner-sourced material and will continue to encourage and support submissions from those less experienced in the art of academic writing. 2

3 *** *** *** News from the Italian Association for Italian Association for Meeting - October 27, 2012 In the past serious epidemiological crisis caused safety and image damages to our sectors. Therefore, the European Organism of Veterinarians Health is for some time planning a virtuous system of timely warning, diagnosis and control of emerging diseases. It is to build a network of knowledge of what happens in European farms in EU countries, to transfer information in a common platform of epidemiological data. This is the subject discussed during Italian Association for meeting in the 67 th International Dairy Cattle Show in Cremona (Italy). It was an opportunity to confront the Italian, French and Dutch veterinary realities thanks to the participation of Fanuel Pascal and Albert van Dijk. Also Maurilio Giorgi, Director of Veterinary Cremona ASL, and Gaetano Penocchio, President FNOVI, have attended to clarify the possible role of a Farm Vet to construct this surveillance system. The President of Italian Association for, Giorgio Torazza, hoped that this debate can get indications of how veterinary profession might evolve in the future. France has recently introduced the figure of the veterinarian who works on a State commission to ensure an efficient network of epidemiological surveillance. This figure attends to health police, to verify the farm drugs use, to write out exportation certificate, to confirm animal welfare and to check final product healthy condition. In addition EU measures, in the Netherlands there were specific measures to face the serious problem of antibiotic resistance: halving antimicrobial use in 2013 compared to 2009, no mixing antibiotic and cow feed, and limitation on use of antimicrobial inducing human resistance. In Dutch cattle-farming it is always given more importance to food as prevention of animal diseases, and the vet is taking mainly a monitoring role respect to animal health and welfare, and to reduce the use of antibiotics. Maurilio Giorgi said that in Italy the lack of dialogue between the public and private subject can have negative consequences such as inadequate epidemiological data, poor biosecurity measures and no consistency in the strategies control of the disease. So buiatric vet will more and more have a global, programmed and a non-sectorial approach, that allows farmers to have a high level of management to meet the request of consumers. Gaetano Penocchio, in his speech, said that professional evolution of a Farm-Vet will move from a paper-based system (reports of infectious disease, notifications measures, transmission of test reports) to an application of a management information system registry of animals and farms, linked to specific diseases or problems of management that will provide data not only for veterinary services of ASL, and for laboratories of the IZS, but also for the private veterinarians who work daily in the farms. Farm-Vet will not be a controller, but a consultant, giving a future to animal production. He may also become a business consultant to bring the image of the products out, to ensure a more rational use of precautionary instrument and to reduce emergency assistance. 3
