Book (series)Prudent and efficient use of antimicrobials in pigs and poultry
A practical manual
2019Also available in:
Antimicrobials are widely used in both humans and livestock and have greatly contributed to better human and animal health. However, these benefits are being threatened by the global emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Because humans and animals often share the same bacteria and may be treated with the same types of antibacterial drugs, resistance to antibiotics is the most critical aspect of AMR for the livestock sector. One way to mitigate the emergence of AMR is to reduce the overall use of antibiotics by combining prudent and medically rational use with other disease preventive measures. This manual will contribute to addressing the challenge of AMR by promoting the prevention of infections and the prudent use of antibiotics in the pig and poultry sectors, the livestock sectors that generally have the highest use of antibiotics. It should be regarded as a practical complement to national governance and regulatory measures. The manual is intended to assist pharmacists, veterinarians, other animal health workers, farm owners and their staff in using antibiotics in a prudent and medically efficient way without loss in productivity. It is especially targeted to farmers with commercialized medium- or large-scale production, veterinarians and other animal health personnel in non-EU Eastern European and Balkan countries, the Caucasus, and Central Asia, who are dealing with pigs and poultry. However, in many cases the principles and practices described here are universally useful and may be applied elsewhere. -
ProjectStrengthening National Capacities for Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in the Livestock Sector - TCP/UKR/3702 2022

No results found.Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global threat Although much evolving AMR can be attributed to the use and misuse of antimicrobials in humans, the overuse of drugs in the livestock sector also jeopardizes the effective treatment of human and animal diseases There is very limited information available in Ukraine related to the use of antimicrobials in the livestock sector however, recent studies carried out by national authorities on the sale of antimicrobials for use in veterinary practice provide clear evidence of the widespread use and possible misuse of antimicrobials along the meat and dairy value chains Awareness of the threat of AMR development and spread is low among public authorities and the professionals involved in the livestock sector In addition, no efficient system exists in the country to monitor antimicrobial use ( and AMR in order to carry out the necessary risk assessments and put in place evidence based policies for AMR risk management In the light of this situation, Ukraine requested FAO assistance to enhance its capacities for antimicrobial resistance. -
MeetingConcept note for the Preliminary consultation on monitoring antimicrobial resistance in animal bacterial pathogens of diseased livestock and poultry
Workshop on Development of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Surveillance Guideline #2 (Livestock Pathogens). 28-29 August 2018; Bangkok, Thailand
2018Also available in:
No results found.Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacterial organisms does not recognize biological, physical, or sectoral boundaries. Its potential transmission pathways include broad areas of disciplines that are often traditionally segregated. The collective and coordinated actions across these multiple disciplines can leverage on the strengthened sectoral accountability towards AMR mitigation. This ensures that the efforts of nations to address this global issue will benefit from the respective expertise of each sector, and that actions are also well-sustained by their respective mandates.
