[Effect of international legislation on veterinary medicine in The Netherlands].

The development of legislation in the veterinary field in the Netherlands under the influence of agreements with separate countries or that resulting from EEC directives is reviewed. The effects of international legislation on veterinary practice are elucidated with disease control in animals, equalization of certificates, animal welfare and the problem of residues. Effects on the authorities occur by way of EEC directives in the field of commercial traffic in fresh meat, fresh poultry meat and manufactured meats, bilateral agreements with third countries, international transport of animals and veterinary education. Attention is paid to the advisory role of the Federation of Veterinarians of the EEC (FVE) in EEC legislation in the veterinary field. In discussing future developments in legislation in the veterinary sphere, the Veterinary Medicinal Products Act, the Veterinary Surgeons' Act, the Animal Health and Welfare Act and the Integrated Surveillance System of the Animal and Meat Production Chain are referred to.

Salmonella in pigs and animal feeding stuffs in England and Wales and in Denmark.

A comparison has been made between the incidence of salmonellas in pigs and feeding stuffs in England and Wales and in Denmark. In Denmark there is veterinary legislation requiring the sterilization of imported and home produced feed ingredients of animal origin. There is no such legislation in England and Wales. In Denmark 0.3% of resterilized imported meat and bone meal was contaminated with salmonellas. This compared with 23% of meat and bone meal in England and Wales and 20-27% of other ingredients of animal origin. In England and Wales salmonellas were isolated from 7% of caecal samples and 6% of lymph node samples, while in Denmark they were isolated from 3% of caecal samples and 4% of lymph node samples. In England and Wales 25 serotypes were found in both pigs and feeds and these included nearly all the most prevalent human pathogens. In Denmark four of the six serotypes in pigs had been found in resterilized feed. One notable difference between the two studies was the very wide range of serotypes found in pigs in England and Wales and the narrow range in Denmark. A second was that Salmonella typhimurium formed 15% of all Salmonella strains isolated from pigs in England and Wales, and 60% of those in Denmark.It is concluded that sterilization of animal raw ingredients in Denmark has reduced pig infections with types other than S. typhimurium that are found in England and Wales, but not with S. typhimurium. It is possible that this is because S. typhimurium once introduced into pigs is able to establish itself more easily than other serotypes.

[Trichinelliasis in southern Ukraine].

The analysis of literature data and the authors' own investigations showed that the southern part of the Ukraine is a trichinelliasis endemic territory where the synanthropic foci of the invasion are registered. The wide spreading of trichinelliasis among pigs and the nonobservance of the control measures provided by the veterinary legislation cause an increase in human prevalence.

[Newer information about several aspects of animal epidemic disinfection].

The amendment of the German Veterinary Legislation concerning the eradication of notifiable diseases demanded also an updating of the relevant disinfection measures and technologies. Some hints are given, based on own experimental results, for the choice of chemical disinfectants, on some special problems of disinfection in livestock buildings and of disinfection of animal slurry and farm-yard manure as well as on biotechnological disinfection methods and environment-friendly disinfectants.

The scope of a laboratory animal program needed at a veterinary school.

The discipline of laboratory animal medicine is one of the most rapidly expanding specialties within the veterinary profession. Veterinary schools should fully accept the responsibility for introductory instruction in laboratory animal medicine in the professional curriculum. Such instruction should articulate the varied opportunities that exist for the laboratory animal veterinarian within the biomedical research community, and provide an overview of the normal biological characteristics and pathologic conditions of the common laboratory animal species. In addition, the opportunity should exist within the veterinary school for graduate and undergraduate students utilizing experimental animals to receive a comprehensive introduction to laboratory animal biology, care, and management. Instructional responsibility for such courses should be accepted by faculty veterinarians with advanced training in laboratory animal medicine. Veterinarians with advanced training in this specialty are uniquely qualified to make substantial contributions to biomedical research by promoting the health and welfare of the research animal.
