Antibiotics in Livestock Farming: Frequency of treatment and resistance rates
Measures demanded to minimise the use of antibiotics
There is a broad consensus in science, politics and industry regard-
ing the need to minimise the use of antimicrobial substances in live-
stock farming in order to help reduce antibiotic resistances. A number
of measures have been set out for the various areas of the industry,
some of which are already being implemented. These are intended,
for example, to prevent newly housed animals from bringing resistant
bacteria with them. In addition, improved management conditions, modi-
fied feeding and intensified hygiene measures, which in some cases
are coupled with extended vaccination programmes, are designed to
keep the animals as healthy as possible and thus to avoid the need for
treatment with antibiotics. All additional knowledge of farming, hygiene
and management measures will be of great value in determining further,
specific reduction strategies.
The BfR will also conduct further scientific studies, for instance on the
link between antibiotics usage and the development of resistance, in
order to help to identify suitable courses of action to minimise the entry
of resistant bacteria from the food chain into the population and to evalu-
ate the effect that these bacteria will have.
