Since 1998, notifiable bluetongue virus (BTV) serotypes 1-4, 6, 8, 9, 11, and 16 have been reported in Europe. In August 2006, a (BT) outbreak caused by BTV serotype 8 began northwestern The Netherlands was declared BT-free February 2012, annual monitoring continued. On September 3, 2023, typical BT clinical manifestations sheep were notified to the Food Product Safety Consumer Authority. we confirmed infection through laboratory diagnosis; notifications of signs cattle also reported. We...
Abstract Background The bluetongue virus serotype 3 (BTV‐3) outbreak in the Netherlands 2023 caused severe clinical signs ruminants. and pathological ruminants their spread during are described. Methods Data from Dutch monitoring surveillance system were available to describe findings related BTV‐3 sheep, cattle goats. During outbreak, 13 farms (five five three dairy goats) closely monitored. Results In 2023, infections confirmed by real‐time polymerase chain reaction sheep flocks ( n =...
For successful development and adoption of technology on dairy farms, farmers need to be included in the innovation process. However, design agricultural technologies usually takes a top-down approach with little involvement end-users at early stages. Living Labs offer methodology that involve throughout process emphasize importance understanding users' needs. Currently, exploration farmers' needs has been limited specific types (e.g., smartphone apps) adult cattle. The aim this study was...
In September 2023, bluetongue virus serotype 3 (BTV-3) emerged in the Netherlands, infecting over five thousand livestock farms. sheep, high morbidity and mortality rates were reported that unlike previously described outbreaks. This study aimed to quantify impact of BTV-3 small ruminant population Netherlands 2023. Sheep goat movement census data notification available from 2020 until end Data aggregated farm week level indicators calculated for lambs (<1 year) adult animals (≥1 year)....
Abstract Since 1998, WOAH-notifiable bluetongue virus (BTV) serotype 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, and 16 have been reported in Europe. In mid-August, 2006, a BTV-8 outbreak started Northwestern The Netherlands was declared BT-free again February 2012 annual monitoring demonstrated BT-freedom up to 2023. On September 3 rd 2023, clinical manifestations sheep typical for BT were notified the Dutch Food Product Safety Consumer Authority. Laboratory diagnosis confirmed BTV-infection on 6 first...
Whilst livestock management technologies may help to improve productivity, economic performance, and animal welfare on farms, there has been low uptake of across farming systems countries. This study aimed understand dairy farmers' intention use calf by combining partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) with qualitative comparative analysis (QCA). We evaluated the hypotheses that farmers will intend if they have sufficient competencies, materials, positive meanings...
In September 2023, bluetongue virus serotype 3 (BTV-3) was identified among sheep and cattle in the Netherlands. Severe clinical signs increased mortality were reported cattle. The aim of this study to quantify impact BTV-3 on mortality, abortions premature births Netherlands 2023. Data available from 1 January 2020-31 December 2023 aggregated at herd-month level. Cattle herds assigned a status for each herd-month: 1) that notified BTV-3, 2) did not notify but located infected areas or 3)...
Extended-spectrum β-lactamase and AmpC-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL/AmpC) are an emerging problem hypothesized to be associated with antimicrobial use (AMU), more specifically the of third- fourth-generation cephalosporins. Whether ESBL/AmpC also occur in organic dairy herds, which have restricted AMU, is not known. Additionally, it unknown whether, addition other factors herd management status. The aim this study was estimate prevalence herds Netherlands. Subsequently, relationships...
