GERMAN FARMER IS `HEALTH MANAGER OF THE YEAR`
A prize for health management has been awarded at the world congress of pig veterinarians for the first time. The prize at the IPVS congress in Hamburg (June 27th to July 1st) went to Karl Kleinhölting, a farmer from Coesfeld in Westphalia, for meat production `with a high level of responsibility and expertise.`

The competition was run by the specialist publication `dlz-agrarmagazin` together with Bayer HealthCare, one of the six partners of the IPVS congress, with the aim of promoting good examples of outstanding animal health management by farmers.

The piglet producer Kleinhölting has 270 sows with exemplary baby piglet husbandry. The farmer`s advanced hygiene and health management was deemed to be outstanding by the jury, which was made up of veterinarians and consultants

Panorama
Clean Hands Save Horses - adapted to the WHO´s Clean Hands Save Lives initiative Even before the discovery of germs, the practice of hand hygiene had revealed itself as a crucial element in the fight against infectious diseases. In fact, supported by the historical discoveries and more recent evidence based data, the World Health Organization considers hand hygiene as the pillar of infection control, particularly when related to nosocomial infections. Therefore, the World Health Organization has a strong focus on “Clean Hands Save Lives” campaigns, a principle that is easily translatable into “Clean Hands Save Horses”.
