were unveiled at the National Office of Animal Health (NOAH) annual dinner

Runner up Melanie Read from Boehringer Ingelheim
Speaking at the certificate presentation, NOAH’s new chairman Bob Parmenter
congratulated the winners and said: “Over the years AMTRA has operated two
levels of examination – one for SQPs and one for the representatives of our
own industry. We have been aware for some time that there is confusion about
which qualification is relevant to which person – indeed, that there are two
different qualifications.
“To help clarify things, NOAH is planning to relaunch the second of those
qualifications as the ‘NOAH Certificate of Animal Health’."

Antibiotics for Animals
Animals, just like humans, can suffer from disease. Healthy animals
mean healthy food. NOAH believes it would be a rejection of our responsibility towards the
production of healthy food to deny animals access to medicines which keep them healthy.
Animals need antibiotics too.

Promotion of antimicrobials to farmers
Antibiotics are essential for the health and welfare of the UK’s
livestock population. NOAH accepts that antimicrobial resistance is a
serious and growing subject of discussion for the medical and veterinary
professions. Clearly the collective industry i.e. animal medicine companies,
the veterinary profession and farmers need to continue to take the matter
seriously.
We appreciate the fact that the VMD recognises the role
that responsible promotion plays in ‘knowledge transfer’ to farmers. NOAH
does not believe that the banning of advertising of antimicrobials to
farmers, proposed in the draft Veterinary Medicines regulations 2010, will
reduce resistance profiles

Merial Animal Health
found in breach of NOAH Code on promotion
At its meeting on 14 May 2010, the NOAH Code of Practice Committee, chaired
by Mr Guy Tritton, heard one case.
Merial Animal Health was found to be in breach of one of
the two items under complaint. This related to the literature promoting
IVOMEC SUPER, in that incorrect data contained in the table on page 3 of the
brochure which maintained that Closantel™ injection was effective against
flukes aged 9 weeks or older, when in fact, at the time the undated brochure
was distributed, Closantel was effective against flukes aged 7 weeks or
older.
