SUSANE - Sustainable, sanitary and efficient management of animal manure for plant nutrition Impact of medicated feed on the development of antimicrobial resistant bacteria in integrated pig-fish farms in Vietnam. 1. Introduction
Use of animal manure as fertilizer of aquaculture ponds is practiced widely in Southeast
Asia. Pigs are raised in houses on the edge of ponds
and pig manure is discharged directly into the fish
pond to support growth of algae and aquatic plants
Aquaculture, including integrated systems, is of
increasing economical importance in many provinces
in Vietnam. Fish farms using untreated livestock
wastes as fertilizers are widespread. Moreover,
development and spread of antimicrobial resistance
has become a health problem in Vietnam as well as
globally; a problem that is impacted by human and
non- human antimicrobial usage. Antimicrobials are
commonly used as feed growth promoters to improve
pig productivity. The pig growth promoters are also used in integrated pig-fish farms, and
this use may also increase the antimicrobial resistant level of bacteria in the harvested fish
products which are used for human consumption.
Unfortunately, there are very few evaluations of the resistance level of bacteria in fish
product in Vietnam. Therefore, the sanitary component of SUSANE has carried out studies
to throw light on the risk for increasing resistance of bacteria to medicine due the use of
antibiotics and other antimicrobials in the swine production. This Newsletter presents a
study of the impact of integrated pig-fish farming on the development of antimicrobial
resistant bacteria in the aquatic pond environment. In coming newsletters we will present
results from an ongoing study of resistant bacteria in fish from these fish ponds.
2. Design of the experiment
Manure from pigs was added to fish ponds in a controlled experiment where pigs were fed
antimicrobials as growth promoters added to the feed (Fig. 1, sampling periods 2 and 4), and
the antimicrobial résistance of bacteria in the manure and mixed water sediment samples
were examined. The results of this study was compared with the antimicrobial resistance of
bacteria from manure and mixed water sediments from a trial where the manure used was
collected from pigs feed commercial feed without antimicrobial (Fig. 1, sampling periods 1
and 3). Resistance of strains of E. coli and Enterococcus spp. isolated from the samples was
examined. These bacteria were selected for the study because both are internationally used
as indicators of fecal pollution and in surveillance programs of development of antimicrobial

During four month from February to April 2009, water sediment samples of fish pond
and pig manure samples were obtained a total of 13 times. In total, 634 Enterococcus spp.
and 520 E. coli were obtained from all above pig manure samples (MS) and mixed water
sediment samples (WS) for antimicrobial resistance testing. A significant temporal increase
in nalidixic acid (NAL) and enrofloxacin (ENR) resistance were found for E. coli isolates
obtained from two sample types (WS: NAL from 12.9% to 73.3% and ENR from 65% to
93.8%; MS: NAL from 38.3% to 81.7% and ENR from 66.7% to 98.3%). Consequently,
the using antimicrobials in fish farming may represent a route of transmission of
antimicrobial resistant bacteria and antimicrobial resistance genes from livestock to
humans, e.g from pig, and fish products.

The tetracycline resistance prevalence among Enterococci spp. was 100% in isolates
recovered from both sample types. The resistance prevalence for other antimicrobials shown
by Enterococci spp. varied and was associated with the use or non-use of ENR in the pig
feed (ENR resistance varied between 0% to 19.4% in manure samples and was 0% to 16,7%
in water-sediment samples (table 1)); the MIC value of NAL varied from 61 µg/ml to 256
Species typing of all Enterococci spp strains was done by PCR to determine species
of strictly fecal (E. faecalis and E. faecium) i.e. from pigs as well as species originating from
the “aquatic environment. Species from the pigs and from the aquatic environment may
show and develop different patterns of antimicrobial resistance. A total of 43 E. faecalis, 62
E. faecium and 199 strains of other Enterococcus spp. were obtained from water sediment
samples; In pig manure samples, a total of 78 E. faecalis, 48 E. faecium and 204 strains of
other Enterococcus spp. were recovered. Further analyses will be carried out to determine
the resistance development of E. faecalis and E. faecium strains and to compare their pato-
and genotypes with similar species isolates recovered from human specimens. 5. Conclusion
The conclusion of the project is that the use of antimicrobials as feed growth promoters for
pigs raised in integrated pig- fish farming systems increases the prevalence of antimicrobial
resistant bacteria in the pig manure as well as in the water and sediment of fish pond. The
impact of such resistance development on food safety of fish produced and public health in
general is uncertain, but is currently being investigated.
