REDUCE Colistin Program <\/strong><\/h2>\nThe Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (Agencia Espa\u00f1ola de Medicamentos y Productos Sanitarios, AEMPS) launched the creation of a strategic plan for the reduction of the risk of selection and spreading of antibiotic resistances. It is with this goal that the National Plan Against Antibiotic Resistances (Plan Nacional frente a la Resistencia a los Antibi\u00f3ticos, PRAN)<\/a><\/strong> was born.<\/p>\nThe PRAN has launched a series of programs for the voluntary reduction in the consumption of certain antibiotics in different species, and in 2016 it launched the Reduce Colistin Program<\/strong><\/a> in pigs: an agreement signed by the representatives of the national associations of veterinarians and professionals in the pig sector for the voluntary reduction in the consumption of colistin in the Spanish pig sector.<\/p>\nThe aims of the program are:<\/p>\n
\n- The reduction in the consumption of colistin. The reduction shall be established as if it were in sections, with the quantitative goal of 5 mg\/PCU in three years at the most.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- The control of the use of alternative antibiotics, avoiding the increase in the consumption of neomycin and\/or apramycin as possible substitutes of colistin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The success of the first PRAN has been considerable, because the sales of antibiotics have dropped by 32.4% in the 2014-2017 period, and the REDUCE program has reached a reduction in the consumption of colistin by 97.18 % in pigs (2015-2018).<\/p>\n
This program has been recently expanded with a second stage (2019-2021).<\/p>\n
S.A.T. Hermanos Chico and the decrease in the use of antibiotics in pigs <\/strong><\/h2>\nAt ACH<\/strong><\/a> we are committed to animal welfare and we are aware that animal health is related to human health and the care for the environment, and because of that, at S.A.T. Hermanos Chico<\/a><\/strong> we have joined the REDUCE program to work together with the authorities and experts in the \u201cOne Health\u201d strategy.<\/p>\nWe have adapted the management of our health programs, focusing them on a restrained use of colistin and avoiding the alternative use of neomycin and apramycin.<\/p>\n
We are reducing the use of colistin in the feed and drinking water as most as possible, focusing on a therapeutic and individual use, avoiding metaphylaxis and completely refraining from antibiotic prophylaxis.<\/p>\n
We, together with all the pig sector, keep on working towards the improvement of a sensible and rational use of antibiotics.<\/p>\n
