Dr Tom Harrison presented this week at the Australian Veterinary Antimicrobial Stewardship Confernece pre-conference workshop on Data Pig, our innovative electronic recording system to enhance antimicrobial stewardship practices and to monitor antimicrobial use. Developed by Apiam Animal Health, it is set to enhance the health, productivity, profitability and sustainability of Australia’s pig herd.
The pen-side application synchronises with veterinary prescribed medication lists and provides accurate medical treatments and dosage instructions based on animal class, animal numbers and clinical signs of disease.
Antimicrobial usage data is stored on the Data Pig web-based platform and reported using programming software, which unites strategy and analytics.
For further information about Data Pig, producers should contact Dr Harrison on email at tom.harrison@apiam.com.au or click here to Data Pig in use.
