Introduction ( Cont) The Government of Laos is emphasized the importance of economic growth based on Agricultural and livestock production to promote rural development is a key part of the national framework for poverty reduction; During the past decade, the livestock products plays an important role in the rural development because of it represents a crucial source of income and employment for rural households and contributes a large share of GDP; Although, the livestock production has still encountered the big problems with particularly the animal diseases outbreaks that occurred in the country;
Introduction (cont) The Government of Laos has supported strongly programme on the prevention and control of the major epidemic animal disease and its production services; Laos is a member country of OIE and follows by OIE guidelines and regulation on the TAD control and maintains the good cooperation, coordination, and collaboration with ASEAN member countries, and neighboring country as well in the area of the animal disease prevention and control.
Overview of livestock production Role of livestock in the socio-economic development Livestock production plays a significant role in the socioeconomy of the people in the country: Source of protein for consumption Source of income Drought power in some locations in the country Fixed assets of the rural farmer Contribution of about 20-30% to agricultural GDP

The extent of antimicrobial use in livestock production Livestock product system Backyard production 85 % Commercial production 15 %
Type of livestock production (Cont ) Livestock production is firmly based in the smallholder sector with over 85% of all animals being raised by smallholder farmers. Natural feeding (Local chickens are used to scavenging food around the house and village during the day most farmers provide rice bran or broken rice twice per day as a supplementary feed Free range Integrate with agriculture by product use for animal feeding and improvement
Type of livestock production (Cont ) Commercial production: pig and poultry enterprises near major urban markets. Antibiotics used in livestock product involving usage as : therapeutic agents to treat of infections, bacterial diseases prevention in intensive and extensive farming systems and prophylactic agent in water of healthy bird and pig as growth promoters at sub-therapeutic concentrations in feed.

Current and planned arrangements for monitoring of antimicrobial use in livestock production The Government of Laos has supported strongly programme on the prevention and control of the major epidemic animal disease and its production services; animal health care (vaccination and treatment) facilitate disease surveillance and disease response Few data are available on the prevalence of resistance in the bacteria. because Lack of resources; Lack of facility equipment for testing; perceived low priority; lack of coordination for collection and antimicrobial testing methods.
Constrains of the Planning & Data Management Content development: Lack of information for management decisions Very few detailed study at local level ( village cluster) Insufficiency of meteorological data at local level including weak forecasting on the production Scarcity of usable data Lack of professional technical skills Lack of regular update Cooperation network: Lack of effective networking among the internal organization Coordination with other line agencies and organizations is still weak Technical: Lack of necessarily equipment and software for information management. Limit skill of the staff personnel
Capacity of the disease surveillance and disease outbreak response Animal health Service at the grass root level has been established: About 15,166 VVW have been trained cover 17 provinces around 129 districts The main task of VVW: Disease recognition and reporting Animal health care (vaccination and treatment) Facilitate disease surveillance and disease response
Patterns and extent of AMR in animal pathogens Antibiotics have been used widely in poultry and pig farms Commercial livestock production has developed only around major population centers such as Vientiane, supplying meat, eggs the urban population Standard and methods for AML is a major problem in evaluating and making recommendations to address the problem of antimicrobial resistance. Lack of methods and facility for antimicrobial susceptibility testing for livestock /aquatic pathogens, and their interpretation. Lack of maximum concentration of residue resulting from the use of veterinary drug ( expressed in mg/kg on a fresh weight basis) that is legally permitted or recognized as acceptable in livestock/ fish products.
Future action Secure the effective enforcement of legislative matter : promulgation of new Law on Livestock Production and Veterinary Matter. Strengthening the veterinary inspection at the border check post Strengthening the animal and animal products movement control Strengthening the diagnostic capacity of the provincial diagnostic laboratory. Follow up international standard of antimicrobial use in livestock products.
