While various factors are at play in this issue, it is the excessive or inappropriate use of antibiotics that raises major concerns worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>By some estimates, antibiotic resistance may overtake cancer as the leading cause of death worldwide by 2050. The economic impact is also worrisome: it could cost the Canadian healthcare system $6&nbsp;billion to $8&nbsp;billion per year.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping the rise in antibiotic resistance in check is the business of everyone who uses antibiotics. Whether we use these precious drugs for human medicine, pets, or livestock production, we all need to rethink how they get used.<\/p>\n<p>In Quebec, the Minist\u00e8re de l\u2019Agriculture, des P\u00eacheries et de l\u2019Alimentation du Qu\u00e9bec (MAPAQ) has implemented a system for monitoring antibiotic use in livestock production. This system makes it possible to monitor changes in practices and identify solutions to slow the emergence of antibiotic resistance cases.<\/p>\n<p>Each year, the <em>Programme qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois d\u2019antibiosurveillance v\u00e9t\u00e9rinaire<\/em> (Quebec veterinary antibiotic monitoring program) publishes data on antibiotic use in cattle production.

Whether they be small-scale gestures or large-scale efforts, biosecurity measures are part of the One Health approach, which recognizes the interdependence of human, animal, and plant health.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Biosecurity initiatives<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The PBQ has engaged in various efforts in recent years to better document biosecurity-related issues on farms, at auctions, and in transport. These include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On-farm biosecurity response plan and veterinary consulting for milk-fed veal<\/li>\n<li>Clarifying and ranking the risks of <em>Salmonella <\/em>Dublin propagation in cattle marketing<\/li>\n<li>Improving biosecurity in transport<\/li>\n<li>Updating biosecurity practices at Quebec cull cattle and dairy calf auctions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>What is the ABBQ?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Alliance bios\u00e9curit\u00e9 bovine du Qu\u00e9bec (ABBQ) is the outcome of two years of collaboration between producers, stakeholders, researchers, and organizations. It aims to improve health security throughout the sector and make it more resilient and future-ready in the face of mounting challenges in animal health and welfare.<\/p>\n<p>In the cattle sector, animals are frequently moved between farms, auctions, and abattoirs. This involves serious health-related risks. Even one contagious disease can have major repercussions: financial losses, lower productivity, animal welfare impacts, stress for producers, and reputational damage to Quebec\u2019s industry in the different markets.<\/p>\n<p>This page features all the products and tools the ABBQ has released to date.<\/p>\n<p>The ABBQ aims to be a unifying body, and some of its work will focus on developing this aspect. Since communication is the key to success in this endeavour, the ABBQ will dedicate much of its energy to disseminating information.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<style id=\"ea_dynamic_css28583\">#sp-ea-28583 .spcollapsing{height: 0;

That\u2019s why the PBQ and the Producteurs de lait du Qu\u00e9bec have pooled their efforts to develop a joint emergency response plan.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why have an emergency response plan?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The purpose of the plan is to ensure there is an effective structure already in place for coordinating between the different chain links in the cattle sector in the event of a crisis. This could include an outbreak of exotic animal disease such as foot and mouth disease. The objective of the plan is twofold:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To mitigate the economic, social, and commercial impacts of such a crisis<\/li>\n<li>To ensure a rapid and coordinated response using collective expertise and well-defined roles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By taking these measures preventatively, the sector puts itself in a better position to protect herd health, the future of farm businesses, and market access.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the emergency response plan and details on the responsibilities of the different stakeholders, see the document below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div><\/div>\n<style id=\"ea_dynamic_css28588\">#sp-ea-28588 .spcollapsing{height: 0;
