Coliprotec F18/F4

a vaccine that protects chicken against coccidiosis, a disease of the gut. Coccidial infections are widely treated with anticoccidial medicines which can have a potential risk of inducing resistance. The use of this vaccine to enhance resistance to infection might therefore have an indirect benefit in reducing the use of anticoccidial medicines***.

a vaccine that protects pigs against post-weaning diarrhoea caused by toxic Escherichia coli. This has the potential to change the current practice to give antibiotics to control infection in pig herds.

Antimicrobial resistance: EMA’s recommendation on colistin Colistin should only be used as a second-line treatment in animals and sales should be minimised across all European Union (EU) Member States. If use in animals is cut to 5mg colistin/ population correction unit**, an overall reduction of around 65% in the current sales of colistin for veterinary use at EU level could be achieved.

New uses for existing medicines

Important CVMP safety recommendations in 2016 •

Increase the withdrawal period of medicines containing gentamicin in cattle and pigs to enhance consumer safety; avoid administering gentamicin subcutaneously.



Take environment protection measures to make sure that altrenogest, a steroidal hormone for young female pigs and mares, has no adverse effects on the reproduction of aquatic organisms.



Refuse the marketing authorisations and withdraw currently authorised zinc oxide-containing medicines, used in medicated feeding stuff for piglets, as these products increase soil zinc concentrations to levels considered harmful for the environment.



Suspend Velactis after serious adverse events were reported in cattle, including recumbency (lying down or inability to stand up) and death.



Withdraw all marketing authorisations for veterinary medicines containing colistin in combination with other antibiotics that are administered orally throughout the EU.

The use of 4 known substances has been expanded in 2016: DRAXXIN to be also used against swine respiratory disease (SRD) Profender to be also used as a spot-on solution for cats Poulvac E. coli to be also used in turkeys Trifexis to be also used to treat and prevent flea infestations in dogs

*Minor use veterinary medicines are intended for use in major species such as cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, Atlantic salmon, cats and dogs for the treatment of diseases that occur infrequently or occur in limited geographical areas. Minor species are all animals that are not one of the major species. **Clarified by replacing ‘by’ with ‘to’ on 26/01/2017. ***Amended on 08/03/2017 to better reflect the risk of inducing antimicrobial resistance.
