1 Monitoring animal welfare problems in fallen stocks Johannes Baumgartner Institute for Animal Husbandry and Animal Welfare University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna
2 Fallen Stock Bodies of dead farm animals not intended for human consumption Died from diseases/injuries or have been killed for certain reasons Potential source of risks to public and animal health Have to be disposed properly in animal waste processing plants (AWPP) Category 1 and 2 used for combustation, bio fuels, fertilizer 2
3 Fallen Stock in A 2013: fallen stock tons (BMG, 2014) Number of fallen stock in , Percentage of population ,272 Calves 24,730 Cattle >1 year Pigs >30 kg High loss rate, increase over time fallen animals (EFPRA members of EU14, EFPRA 2014) Database incomplete (i.e. cadavers <30 kg not included)
4 Fallen Stock - Processing 4
5 Hidden suffering Some fallen animals die miserably! Lack of knowledge how to treat and kill moribund animals Herd size, economic pressure, housing condition, Little evidence on welfare problems of fallen stock No control in animal waste processing procedure 5
6 Initial Study vans (1070 cattle and 987 pig cadavers) inspected at 1 Austrian AWPP Fallen Cattle (Klager, 2012) 124 cadavers (12.5%) with one ore more signs Adult cattle > calves (59 % vs. 3 %) Decubitus, extreme dirtyness, bad body condition Fallen Pigs (Mlak, 2012) 203 cadavers (20.8%) with noticable signs Bites, decubitus, bad body condition 6
7 Fallen Cattle 7
8 Fallen Pigs 8
9 Objectives and Methods I. Re-examination/verification of study Klager and Mlak Inspection of 43 vans using modified protocol Only moderate and severe pathological signs (non mild) + Focus on signs of proper killing II. Development of a feasible monitoring system Concept Protocol for drivers Training of drivers Testing and validation Done by 2 vet students (diploma thesis) at 2 Austrian AWPP 9
10 Results Re-examination 43 vans with 491 fallen cattle and 319 fallen pigs >30kg 22 cattle (4.5 %) and 25 pigs (7.8 %) noticed Decubitus 9 14 Swellings 3 10 Bad body condition 2 7 Claws problem Horn problem Cattle (n=491) Pigs (n=319) Improper killing in 14 of 22 noticed cattle and in 1 of 25 pigs 10
11 Our Monitoring Concept Ear tagging of suspect cadavers by trained drivers Final evaluation of pre-selected cadavers by official vets at AWPP Feed back to farmer training and/or consideration 11
12 Protocol for Drivers Cattle and pigs 3 Regions Head Front Hind 5 Symptoms Bad body Condition Decubitus Swellings Claws problems Improper killing Only if severe! 12
13 Testing of Monitoring System With 16 trained drivers at 2 AWPP 79 vans with 1141 fallen cattle and pigs 29 cattle (6.2 %) and 25 pigs (6.1 %) pre-selected by drivers 6 false positive and no* false negative cadavers found in final inspection Decubitus Swellings Bad body condition Claw problem 2 3 Horn problem 1 Cattle (n=471) Pigs (n=670) Improper killing in 16 of 29 pre-selected cattle and 13 of 41 pigs * Data only from 1 AWPP 13
14 Conclusion Suspicion of welfare problems in fallen stock substanciated Detection by pre-selection of suspicious fallen stock by trained drivers produced reliable results and little extra workload Implemetation by veterinary administration + AWPP? Intensive training of farmers and vets in professional treatment of moribund animals + efficient monitoring system should reduce the number of fallen stock with obvious signs of prolonged suffering. 14
15 Many thanks to Alexandra Geier Melanie Mlak Michaela Klager Theresa Magenschab Kathrin Haas AWPP drivers Birgit Howorka Christoph Hofer-Kasztler you for your attention! 15
16 Proper treatment Adequate therapy with reasonable effort! no success EUTHANASIA to prevent pain/suffering! + Stunning with captive bolt gun + bleeding by severing major arteries of neck
