Book (series)Training materialImproving dairy cattle health and productivity
Practical training materials for veterinarians and farmers for better farm management
2025Also available in:
No results found.This highly visual set of training materials focuses on core farm-level practices known to impact animal health and production outcomes, such as colostrum management, calfhousing, nutrition, milking hygiene, and biosecurity. Each topic can be covered in a short, focused session (30–90 minutes), ideally combining discussion, visual aids, and on-farmdemonstration. These materials were designed for and are most effective when used on farms. Importantly, they are designed to be modular, practical, and flexible, making themsuitable for a wide range of training environments.This volume is part of a broader series that will also address other major production systems and livestock species, including commercial poultry, beef cattle, and small ruminants. These materials were developed under a regional initiative to reduce antimicrobial use in the dairy and poultry sectors, based on the principle that most disease – and thus, muchantimicrobial use – can be prevented by improving husbandry. In many systems, antimicrobials are used not only for treatment, but to compensate for poor housing, nutrition,biosecurity, and management. By promoting sound animal care and preventive practices, these materials help farmers and veterinarians keep animals healthy, reduce the need forantimicrobials, and lower the risk of antimicrobial resistance. -

The use of antibiotics and thus the threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) can be reduced by adopting the right husbandry practices. This publication provides practical tips to the livestock producer aiming at improving animal health and hence the reduced use of antibiotics -
BookletGuidelineGuidelines for antimicrobial use in poultry and livestock sectors in Egypt 2024
Also available in:
The misuse of antimicrobials in the veterinary sector is serious because it has a triple effect on the spread of antibiotic resistance in humans. The first is through the direct transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria from animals to humans, the second is through potential antimicrobial residues in food of animal origin, which may enable bacteria within bodies of humans to develop resistance to antimicrobials, and the third effect occurs due to the dissemination of antibiotic-resistant bacteria from animals in the environment. In Egypt, improvement of livestock and poultry productions are very important to increase the animal protein amount available for each person per year. Animal production in Egypt is variable ranges from household breeding of few numbers of animals or birds, or pastoral continuously mobile flocks consisting of tens to hundreds of animals to big and organized farms consisting of thousands of animals. These national guidelines for AMU aims to enlighten the whole community in Egypt, particularly livestock–poultry producers, about the appropriate use of antimicrobials. This is to enhance knowledge of producers for reducing antimicrobial resistance rates, avoid other negative health effects of antimicrobial residues in foods of animal origin, and to enhance safe and profitable animal production.
