Although farmers are aware of the high usage, little is known about intervention to improve the situation. This study evaluated the extent to which <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AMU<\/jats:styled-content> could be reduced in pig production by the optimization of herd management, biosecurity status, vaccination strategy, anthelmintic therapy and advice on prudent <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AMU<\/jats:styled-content>. Furthermore, the effects of these interventions on the herd production results were explored. This intervention study was conducted on 61 Flemish pig herds and included three visits per herd. During the initial visit, information was gathered on herd management, biosecurity status (quantified by means of the Biocheck.<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">UG<\/jats:styled-content>ent<jats:sup>\u2122<\/jats:sup> risk\u2010based scoring system), vaccination strategy, anthelmintic therapy and <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AMU<\/jats:styled-content>. This info was then translated into a herd\u2010specific action plan which was discussed with the farmer and herd veterinarian\/other advisors during the second visit. In the final herd visit (\u00b18\u00a0months later), comparable data were obtained to evaluate the progress. Overall, a significant improvement of 2.4 points external and 7 points internal biosecurity on the herds was obtained, combined with additional vaccination, anthelmintic therapy and prudent <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AMU<\/jats:styled-content>. This was accompanied by a significant reduction in the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AMU<\/jats:styled-content> with a decrease of 52% for the pigs from birth till slaughter and 32% for breeding animals, based on treatment incidences (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">TI<\/jats:styled-content>s) and included an important reduction in the use of critically important antimicrobials. More importantly, the increased biosecurity levels and decreased <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AMU<\/jats:styled-content> were combined with significantly improved technical results such as the number of weaned piglets per sow per year (+1.1), daily weight gain (+5.9\u00a0g\/day) and mortality in the finisher period (\u22120.6%). Guided interventions as a team effort of farmer and herd veterinarian\/other advisors have shown to be a promising method in the reduction of <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AMU<\/jats:styled-content> in pig production.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/zph.12283","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,30]],"date-time":"2016-06-30T12:33:39Z","timestamp":1467290019000},"page":"63-74","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":125,"title":["Reducing Antimicrobial Usage in Pig Production without Jeopardizing Production Parameters"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"64","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"Postma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Epidemiology Unit Department of Reproduction, Obstetrics and Herd Health Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Ghent University Merelbeke Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"W.","family":"Vanderhaeghen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Epidemiology Unit Department of Reproduction, Obstetrics and Herd Health Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Ghent University Merelbeke Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Sarrazin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Epidemiology Unit Department of Reproduction, Obstetrics and Herd Health Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Ghent University Merelbeke Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D.","family":"Maes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Porcine Health Management Unit Department of Reproduction, Obstetrics and Herd Health Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Ghent University Merelbeke Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Dewulf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Epidemiology Unit Department of Reproduction, Obstetrics and Herd Health Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Ghent University Merelbeke Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1098\/rstb.2014.0085"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","first-page":"3303","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on the Epidemiology and Control of Foodborne Pathogens in Pork (SafePork)","author":"Adam M.","year":"2009"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","first-page":"339","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on the Epidemiology and Control of Foodborne Pathogens in Pork (SafePork)","author":"Aerts R.","year":"2011"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.prevetmed.2013.08.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","unstructured":"AMCRA 2014:Visie 2020 \u2010 Center of Expertise on Antimicrobial Consumption and Resistance in Animals (AMCRA) \u2010http:\/\/amcra.be\/sites\/default\/files\/bestanden\/AMCRA%202020%20finaal_NL%20-%20definitief.pdf"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13028-015-0103-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1751-0147-51-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","volume-title":"VHhnCqLjePY","author":"Belgian FPS Economy","year":"2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","unstructured":"Belpork v. 2015:Certus http:\/\/www.certus-info.be\/."},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","unstructured":"Blakeston A. 2013:Create combination stacked\/clustered charts in excel\u2010https:\/\/alesandrab.wordpress.com\/2013\/01\/28\/create-combination-stacked-clustered-charts-in-excel\/."},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_1","unstructured":"Boerenbond 2015:www.boerenbond.be."},{"key":"e_1_2_8_13_1","first-page":"182","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on the Epidemiology and Control of Foodborne Pathogens in Pork (SafePork)","author":"Brockhoff E.","year":"2009"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.prevetmed.2012.03.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/mdr.2014.0037"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jac\/dkt443"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_17_1","first-page":"379","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 22nd International Pig Veterinary Society congress (IPVS)","author":"Coube J.","year":"2012"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_18_1","unstructured":"DANMAP 2015:DANMAP\u2010http:\/\/www.danmap.org\/.Statens Serum Institut National Veterinary Institute National Food Institute Copenhagen Denmark."},{"key":"e_1_2_8_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/vr.101961"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3920\/978-90-8686-742-4_27"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_21_1","unstructured":"Dewulf J.
