consumption
of
zinc
oxide and
zinc
in the pig production
zinc
is a critical trace element for animals and humans. for
use
of
zinc
in pig production, please see textbox 4.3 in danmap 2014.
zinc
is relevant in the context of danmap beca
use
its
use
may select for resistance in some bacteria, including mrsa. figure 4.6 shows the
use
of medical zink in danish pig production. piglets must be fed a sufficient amount of
zinc
every day, since the immediately available plasma and body
zinc
pool is very limited. since the feed intake is very low right after weaning, the concentration of
zinc
in compound feedstuffs and mixed diets must be increased to counterbalance this. two weeks after weaning, the feed intake has increased to a normal level and the lower dietary
zinc
inherent in the compound feedstuffs is sufficient. the most commonly
use
d product is
zinc
oxide (zno) which contains 80%
zinc
. the
use
of
zinc
oxide prescribed by veterinarians has in- creased over the last decade. from 2005 to 2011 a three-fold increase in
use
of
zinc
and
zinc
oxide was reported to vetstat, whereas the number of pigs produced in denmark increased by 14%. since 2011, the
consumption
has been relative stable at approximately 500 tonnes of
zinc
oxide (zno) equivalent to 400 tonnes of
zinc
(zn). 4.3.2 antimicrobial
consumption
in cattle in 2015, the overall
consumption
of antimicrobials in cattle remained at approximately 13 tonnes, similar to 2014. the production of veal and beef remained more or less at the same level from year to year, while the milk production continued to increase (table 3.1). the
use
of fluoroquinolones in cattle has been low for the last decade and no
use
of fluoroquinolones was reported for cattle in 2015. approximately 10 kg of cephalosporins were
use
d systemically, which represents a 66% reduction since 2014, when the dairy association decided to phase out its
use
, and note: in addition to medicinal zno, zn is added to all compound feeding stuffs for pigs, up to a level of 150 ppm. figure 4.6.
