Deliverables
This deliverable will be the result of the actions described in task 4.3: An integrated, interactive and dynamic web-based geographical information system (webGIS) of helminth infections and anthelmintic resistance (AR) will be developed on the SPARC KEP across a range of ruminants, helminth infections and anthelmintics in Europe. The webGIS and build upon the systematic literature review and COMBAR dataset summarizing all AR surveys in Europe. The webGIS will be uploaded on the website (WP5) to inform decision makers from farmer to policy maker on the geographic and sector-specific variation on helminth infections and AR and set a benchmark to monitor the long term effects of changes in control approaches and policies. The webGIS will be continuously updated with primary and secondary data (from linked projects and literature review) during the whole period of the project. Secondary data sources will be searched for and screened in terms of country and the ‘fitness for use’
This deliverable will be the result of the actions described in task 4.1: The SPARC KEP will be established at the beginning of the project. The platform will be an important forum for dialogue with all partners (WP1) on issues related to sustainable worm control strategies adapted to different ruminant species/production types, climate and farm management conditions and environmental conditions. in order to make the practical advice produced in SPARC available to farmers, farm advisors, veterinarians through an attractive, easy-to-use, interactive, multi-lingual online digital platform at European level.
This deliverable reports the results of the actions described in task 2.1: Stakeholders’ needs to effectively implement sustainable parasite control will be evaluated. Qualitative surveys and focus groups will identify existing practices, tools, materials, and information/training channels used, and limitations and barriers to the adoption of sustainable good practices. They will address the relationships between stakeholders, the respective place and role of the different actors involved in advising livestock farmers, the knowledge and capacity gaps, and the preferred means and channels for addressing them in the most effective way. Cases where good practices are followed and the factors that triggered this change will be studied in-depth. Surveys will be conducted individually or collectively with farmers, technicians and veterinarians. Replication at the national level and a higher order analysis will identify the main drivers and limitations of sustainable parasite management and important differences between countries, regions, sectors and farmer typologies, guiding tailored approaches. For each country/sector and for Europe overall, available knowledge, know-how and tools will be mapped with key knowledge exchange gaps and needs, and barriers and levers for change. This will allow focus within and beyond SPARC the areas in which enabling activities through TN will be most effective to support constructive change.
Protocols for sustainable worm control practices (opens in new window)This deliverable reports the results of the actions described in task 3.1: Together with the end-users (farmers, farm advisors, veterinarians) we will select which sustainable worm control practices will be implemented in specific target livestock populations (meat and dairy sheep, goats and cattle) and countries. For each worm control practice, decision support and/or diagnostic tools will be defined, as well as parameters and thresholds to measure anthelmintic efficacy, animal productivity and economic return of the applied practices. For worm control practices, their associated parameters and expected outcomes will be adapted to account for the different livestock species/production types, climate and farm management conditions.
