avt presentation emsland model 2013
DESCRIPTION
Landkreis Emsland is a district in Lower Saxony, Germany was one of the first to implement a Emergency Response, Management & Control strategy based upon EU 1099/2009. This presentation provides an overview of the consequences of recent large-scale outbreaks and how a successful strategy could contribute to prevent them socio-economic consequenses.TRANSCRIPT

OVERVIEW
3
Government/veterinary authorities are overall responsible for management, control, and field response National level: declaration of the disease (on suspicion/after
confirmation) Regional level: Organizing and coordinating response activities;
inspection/reporting; surveillance/epidemiology; sampling/laboratory, (pre) financing & compensation; logistics, etc.
Local level: Carrying out all response activities; organizing rapid response/culling/disposal/cleaning & disinfection etc.
Industry is responsible for biosecurity and prevention

To safeguard the production and distribution of food/feed that is safe for consumers/animals
To maintain the trust of the general public, the distributors and retailers in food safety:
Demonstrable
Transparent
Without unnecessary risks for public health, animal welfare and the environment
General objectives of International standards

The EU legislation changed after a series of outbreaks in the UK and Holland with devastating consequences
The traditional approach was not based on modern large scale production in concentrated farming areas
Both the Government as well as the industry failed to reduce the impact of the large scale outbreaks
The public was extremely upset and blamed the large scale production for causing the slaughter of millions of innocent animals
The end of the traditional approach within the EU

£ 2,4 billion 0.5 兆円
2001: Total financial impact UK FMD outbreak:
£13 billion 2.5 兆円
2003: Total financial impact Dutch AI outbreak:
€ 1,275 billion 0.2 兆円
Quite usual damage, also today:
2011: Estimated financial impact Korean MFD outbreak:
W 3 trillion 0.3 兆円
2010: Estimated financial impact on Japanese MFD/AI outbreak:
JPY 140 billion 0.2 兆円
(post crisis report of Whiting T, 2003)
Financial consequences
7AVT AB ©
2001: UK FMD outbreak: Untrained veterinary staff
Lack of adequate policy, monitoring and oversight
Using the military instead of trained agricultural staff
Logistics competition due to chaotic contracting of suppliers
Lack of planning
No equipment
Lack of Disposal/burial
(post crisis report of Whiting T, 2003)
Organizational conclusions
8AVT AB ©
2003: Dutch AI outbreak: Wrong planning based on FMD response plan
Insufficient equipment at the start
Inadequately trained response personnel in quality and quantity
Insufficient rendering capacity
Insufficient monitoring
Outdated policy based on using Cyanide
(post crisis report of RIVM 2003)
Organizational conclusions
9AVT AB ©
2003: Dutch AI outbreak: 4,500 people were in contact with diseased birds
2,250 persons (50%) carried antibodies
453 people showed symptoms
89 people were diseased with H7N7 (3 were not in direct contact with diseased birds)
1 veterinarian died; Approx. 4,050 family members, relatives and friends carried antibodies
Increased stress under veterinary staff, farmers, field workers and their family
(post crisis report of RIVM 2003)
Health related conclusions
10AVT AB ©
2001: UK FMD outbreak, spreading throughout the EU: 10 million sheep and cattle in the UK where killed
270,000 cattle in Holland where killed
843 infected locations in the UK
Huge impact on tourism
(post crisis report of RIVM 2003)
Destruction of agricultural infrastructure

Conclusions by the public: Rejection of the industry

Question 1: Who invests in Emergency control?
Question 2: Who suffers the losses?
Question 3: Who is responsible when things go wrong?
Question 4: Why can’t the industry insure the risks?

Fundamental questions
14
Joint responsibility between Government & Industry
Prevention & biosecurity is mandatory for the entire industry
Response strategy is a joint effort of the Government, Veterinary authorities and the industry
Animal disease insurance policy co-financed by the Government and the industry
Freedom to introduce vaccination strategy on country level
AVT AB ©
Fundamental changesThrough EU Directive 1099/2009
15
Continuous monitoring
Early recognition
Quick and reliable diagnose
Timely warning to the Veterinary authorities
Minimizing the risks
Spreading of the disease
Financial losses and costs
Competent response Veterinary authorities
Branch organizations
Farmers
Farming related Industry
Response by a well-trained professional organization Maximum response within 24
hours
Minimizing contacts between animals and humans
Paid through the animal disease insurance fund

Key elements of a successful response approach
16
Pigs in Lower Saxony
7.000.000; 25% of all pigs in Germany
One of the highest pig concentrations in Europe: Landkreis Emsland
Poultry in Emsland
Emsland: County of the German State of Lower Saxony
One of Europe’s most dense poultry area’s
Total population: 310,000 people
Poultry stock: 28,5 million birds
2,900 km2 = 10,000 birds per Km2
1,500 poultry farms = 19.000 per farm
Landkreis Emsland Close cooperation between authorities
and Industry
Veterinary tasks: Inspection and control
Veterinary tasks during field response are carried out by regional private veterinary service, specialized in pigs and poultry
Farmers are responsible for response
Specialized private emergency response contractor is carrying out all response tasks, on behalf of the farmers
All farmers pay a contribution per animal to the animal disease insurance fund
All investments in equipment and training are covered by the fund
Burial of carcasses is strictly forbidden!AVT AB ©
The Emsland model
17
The risks are insured on the basis of a farm biosecurity plan authorized by
the Veterinary authorities, including an extended compensation scheme
A specialized emergency response contractor is responsible for all non-veterinary tasks and responsibilities, capable of processing 1,000 MT per 24 hours
Only specialized equipment is used, stored within the area to guarantee a response time of 8 hours
The insurance fund is used to pre-finance the investments in equipment, stocks and training of qualified response staff
Most response activities take place within the stables, minimizing the risks of escape of the virus
Minimum of one joint simulation drill per animal type/per year

How does the Emsland model work in practice?
18
AVT AB ©
Example for Pigs under Asian conditions – From virus to biomass -
19
① Site preparation is a joint effort of
the farmer, the veterinarian and contractor
② Animals are handled by the farmers own staff to avoid unnecessary stress & pain
③ The animals are killed by the most appropriate method within the stable
④ The veterinary staff only monitors the response activities
⑤ The entire process is registered on video
⑥ All animals are weighted on site
⑦ An electronic file is created per animal (pigs)/batch of animals (poultry), including video and other relevant electronic data
⑧ A mobile cleaning and disinfection unit is on site
⑨ In case carcasses are maceratored and transformed into biomass, the bulk is safely transported to a biomass installation
⑩ All non-animal materials used are collected and destructed

Processes in 10 steps

AVT AB ©
Under witch conditions could the model work in Asia?
Cooperation between Government, Veterinary services and the Industry, in line with the EU model
Introduction of farmers responsibility for organizing the response on their farm
Creation of an Animal Disease Insurance Fund to pre-finance the investments in equipment and training
Creation of a professional private response organization to carry out all response activities
Allowing alternative disposal methods, like biomass, to avoid the risks of reintroduction of the virus
21
Question 1: Is the industry willing to cooperate with the authorities?
Question 2: Can you afford more future losses?
Question 3: Are you willing to bare the joint responsibility?
Question 4: Are the authorities willing to accept the industry as partner?
Question 5: Are you willing to pay a fee per animal to the insurance fund?
