Abstract

INTRODUCTION Biosecurity in livestock farming includes all measures preventing pathogen introduction onto a farm (external biosecurity) and pathogen transmission on the farm itself (internal biosecurity). An important risk factor for the dissemination of infectious diseases are specialised external persons working on numerous farms, such as professional hoof trimmers in Switzerland. In the present study, 49 hoof trimmers, participating in the Swiss claw health programme and working as professionals, were questioned regarding their biosecurity measures and observed by two veterinarians during hoof trimming in order to assess the implementation of biosecurity measures by hoof trimmers. Data were processed using a scoring system, in which points were allocated to the different working methods taking into account their assumed transmission potential for infectious diseases such as digital dermatitis (DD) and Salmonellosis. The working method, which complied with the ideal biosecurity measure, was always given a whole point, whereas less optimal working methods were only given an intermediate value or no point. The scoring system helped identify precisely the strengths and weaknesses of the hoof trimmers in terms of biosecurity. The level of implementation of biosecurity measures by hoof trimmers was overall quite low (53 %=average of the overall biosecurity scores of the 49 hoof trimmers). Hoof trimmers which attended specialised training courses tended to have a higher level of implementation of biosecurity measures. The answers given by the hoof trimmers and the observations made by the veterinarians were compared, whereby it was found that hoof trimmers generally evaluated themselves better in regard to biosecurity than veterinarians assessed them. In summary and based on the results of this study, the dissemination of pathogens, such as DD associated treponemes and salmonella is possible during hoof trimming performed by external persons working on numerous farms. Thus, future training and continuing education courses should place emphasis on biosecurity.

[在瑞士实施生物安全措施的蹄修剪器]。
家畜养殖中的生物安全包括所有防止病原体传入农场(外部生物安全)和病原体在农场本身传播(内部生物安全)的措施。传染病传播的一个重要风险因素是在众多农场工作的外部专业人员,例如瑞士的专业修蹄工。在本研究中,49名作为专业人员参加瑞士爪卫生方案的修蹄者就其生物安全措施进行了询问,并由两名兽医在修蹄期间进行了观察,以评估修蹄者实施生物安全措施的情况。使用评分系统处理数据,在该系统中,考虑到各种工作方法对数字皮炎(DD)和沙门氏菌病等传染病的假定传播潜力,对不同的工作方法进行打分。符合理想生物安全措施的工作方法通常给予整点,而不太理想的工作方法只给予中间值或不给予点。该评分系统有助于准确地确定修剪蹄在生物安全方面的优势和劣势。修剪蹄的人实施生物安全措施的水平总体上很低(53% = 49个修剪蹄的人总体生物安全得分的平均值)。参加过专门培训课程的修剪蹄的人往往对生物安全措施的执行程度更高。对剪蹄者给出的答案和兽医的观察结果进行了比较,发现剪蹄者在生物安全方面的自我评价通常优于兽医对他们的评价。总之,根据本研究的结果,在许多农场的外部人员进行蹄部修剪时,可能会传播病原体,如与DD相关的密螺旋体和沙门氏菌。因此,未来的培训和继续教育课程应强调生物安全。
