First set of practice abstracts by the DECIDE project

The first set of practice abstracts is a deliverable developed by the DECIDE project. It includes eight short summaries for practitioners, covering the main results and findings of the DECIDE project as well as practical recommendations for end-users from all four DECIDE species: cattle, poultry, pigs and salmon. The practice abstracts cover the following topics: 1) The cattle barometer: Navigating Europe’s pathogen landscape for livestock health; 2) The cattle purchase assistant: decision support to minimize the risk of introducing diseases; 3) Creation of a pig health tool to improve decision-making at farm level; 4) Overview of the economic impact of common respiratory diseases in pigs and possible interventions; 5) Creating a dashboard for broiler farmers and veterinarians to monitor infectious bronchitis strains; 6) Analysis of risk factors for antibiotic use, mortality and footpad lesions in Dutch broiler flocks; 7) Early Detection of Salmon Dis-ease: An Innovative Approach in Aquaculture; 8) Monitoring monthly mortality of maricultured Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in Scotland. Introduction to the DECIDE project: Farmers, veterinarians and other animal health managers in the livestock and aquaculture sectors are currently missing information on the prevalence and burden of contagious animal diseases that are not regulated by the European Union. The diseases are estimated to cause 10-15% reduction in performance efficiency of livestock farming, resulting in large financial losses and lower sustainability as well as affect animal welfare. DECIDE, a five-year Horizon 2020 project, is developing data-driven decision support tools that offer robust and early signals of disease emergence and options for diagnostic confirmation. Moreover, options will be provided for controlling the disease along with their implications in terms of disease spread, economic burden and animal welfare. To bridge the gap between the project’s findings and the end-users who can benefit from them, the DECIDE project is committed to disseminating its results in a user-friendly and accessible manner, in this case in the form of practice abstracts. A total of 16 practice abstracts are expected to be produced from the DECIDE project, divided into two deliverables, D6.4 and D6.9, each comprising 8 practice abstracts. These abstracts will provide a concise yet comprehensive overview of the project’s findings and recommendations, making them a valuable resource for end-users.
