2 SCIENTIFIC LITERACY OF EQUINE STUDENTS REGARDING THE USE OF ANTIBIOTICS AND VACCINES S. L. Mastellar & R. C. Bott, South Dakota State University, Brookings, SD, USA: contact There exists much misinformation about antibiotic and vaccine use. An understanding of these topics is important for the use of these tools for the best equine health outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate students understanding of antibiotics and vaccines, identify learned misinformation, and establish baseline data. A survey was administered at the beginning of Equine Health & Disease (AS 213) and Horse Production (AS 365) at South Dakota State University during the spring 2016 semester. AS 213 is not a prerequisite for AS 365. Results of the survey suggest that students may come with some understanding of the concepts surrounding antibiotic and vaccine use (Table 1), but are willing to administer vaccines and antibiotics in situations where they are unwarranted (Table 2). This data suggests that misconceptions related to vaccine and antibiotic use exist in the student population and there may be a need for increased instructional emphasis on the application of vaccines and antibiotics in equine management. Table 1: Correct student responses (%) to knowledge base questions regarding antibiotics and vaccines at the beginning of AS 213 (n=38) and AS 365 (n=33) Question AS 213 AS 365 True or False. Antibiotics will kill viruses as well as bacteria Which of these is a major concern about the overuse of antibiotics? a. It can lead to antibiotic-resistant bacteria Many diseases may be cured by antibiotics. However, the success of some antibiotics against staph infections in horses has diminished in recent years. What is the reason for this? b. Bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics True or False. Vaccines are effective immediately once administered True or False. A horse does not need to be vaccinated if it doesn t leave the property. True or False. A vaccination protocol is essential for ideal equine welfare Table 2: Student responses (%) at the beginning of AS 213 (n=38) and AS 365 (n=33) to "I would give an antibiotic or vaccine to a horse for (circle all that apply)" Response Antibiotic Vaccine AS 213 AS 365 AS 213 AS 365 a. Viral infections, such as the flu b. Cancer treatment, such as carcinoma c. Bacterial infections, such as Potomac Horse Fever d. Disease prevention, such as rabies e. Parasite removal, such as bots f.

23 Implications Veterinarians & college courses are major sources for incoming student knowledge on antibiotics and vaccines Students may arrive with a some memorized facts, but may not be able to apply the concepts in horse management situations Instructors in a potential position of impact Shifts in teaching may be required to students ability to apply knowledge
24 Future research Improved question wording Senior exit survey ongoing Assessment of teaching methods Long term content/concept retention?
