Synopsis (short abstract) The World Health Organization (WHO) considers antimicrobial resistance one of the top 10 global health emergencies affecting humanity; antimicrobial use in animal production is one of its key drivers. Globally, animal production accounts for about three quarters of total antimicrobial use. In Viet Nam, approximately 2751 tonnes of antimicrobials are used in animal production annually, with pig and poultry using the highest amounts. Levels of antimicrobial resistance in foodborne zoonotic pathogens (that is, non-typhoidal Salmonella) and antimicrobial residues in food products are also high in the country.

This publication describes the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland’s multisectoral voluntary approach to antibiotic stewardship in food-producing animals, developed as a collaboration between industry and government. It is a tribute to all those involved for their tremendous efforts, commitment, and continuous work to improve responsible use of antibiotics and achieve significant reductions in their use across livestock sectors. Keys to success include the development of strong relationships between producers, veterinarians and government, industry-led target-setting and cross-sectoral learning and sharing of experiences. This has built a collective sense of ownership and responsibility, resulting in effective behaviour change for improved stewardship.
