Still, the reviews to the chronic botulism, a disease, factor, are divided among experts. Cows, pigs, Wildfasane… die. Because people get it (proven by farmers and veterinarians), as Prof. Dressler confirmed by the medical school in Hanover. There are also reports in horses and dogs to the clinical picture.
Of course, we do not know why the clinical picture of this factor disease of chronic Clostridiose (chronic botulism) so frequently occurs time in the past two years. And because we “know nothing”, the GÖTTINGER statement has been declared Academy (AVA) of the agricultural and veterinary, to stimulate, to conduct appropriate research in the way, so that answers can be found. In the Göttingen Declaration many questions, which have resulted from microbiological contexts out and the emergence of this new factor disease of Clostridiosen. “We veterinarians call for clarification of the many questions….”, so the “conclusion” of the Declaration, such as founder and Director tells of agricultural and Veterinary Academy (AVA), Ernst-Günther Hellwig, specialist veterinarian and Diplomagraringenieur.
Also Prof. Dr. Gerhard Breves of the Hannover veterinary school said at a recent plenary session of the Lower Saxony bio gas Forum, that no data base for the theses of the Göttingen Declaration there, so press releases. Thus the scientists is absolutely right. And just the theses of the Göttingen Declaration require Yes, scientifically to develop this so far non-existent database. Many microbiologists are in agreement that risk material such as offal, chicken droppings, bio waste residue, so protein-containing substrates for fermentation, a higher Clostridien-can cause spores impacted. This is not even denied. And this may be extremely high number of spores survive the previous Hygienisierungsprozess at 70 degrees Celsius and 60 minutes. Can these spores in moderation in biogas plants may “to grown” cause now eventually this described conditions in humans and animals? “Wake up” such Clostridiensporen in the gastro-intestinal tract of animals and humans? Is it due to a (botulinum toxin) of bacteria to the illness of chronic botulism toxin formation? Is this the reason of the increase in the many chronically ill and also dead cows (and sick people) of the last two years on farms? We do not know it so far. Questions about questions this justified guesses, that is to be resolved before it is too late and is no longer to stop the spore contamination in the environment.
The agricultural and Veterinary Academy (AVA) has proposed the Fachverband biogas, but investigations to spores in a biogas plant. A sample analysis costs around 14.00 euros. Thus, this would be a simple and cheap procedure to even once determine whether spores deposited during the bio-gas processes. However the AVA is not responded to the proposal so far. The investigation was agreed with an Institute of the University of Hannover. The fact is: the immunization with vaccine against Clostridium botulinum helps in most companies, that the cow death stops, so the statement a number of veterinarians dealing intensively with the problem. And vaccinations work look only against that, against that you vaccinate.
In an article by the 4.3. in the Schwerin Volkszeitung, editor Michael Beitien writes:
A village resists biogas new monastic–the stand in the place of 60 inhabitants Ruegen camp, a suburb of the city of Neukloster, against a planned industrial biogas plant is growing. “The entire village stands together,” says Anwohnerin servant of INES. Together with 15 other Ruegen Kampern she came this week in the city representatives session, and to express the displeasure of the project. Residents worry about noise and odour, street pollution, consequences of monoculture by increasing corn and to health risks. “For us ticking time bombs are”, says Ines servant….
