Measures to tackle antimicrobial resistance through the prudent use of antimicrobials in animals
Overview report
Publication metadata
This report presents an overview of the efforts being made in the EU to tackle issues relating to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in animals. It illustrates the benefits of taking an holistic approach to developing high levels of animal health complimented by a range of measures to ensure antimicrobials are chosen and used prudently only when necessary. Where applied, such approaches have helped to significantly reduce the use of antimicrobials in veterinary medicine without adversely affecting welfare or productivity issues. Encouragingly, there are signs that these can lead to reduced levels of AMR. The report highlights potential examples of good practice and some challenges which may be useful to other countries in developing and implementing their policies for the prudent use of antimicrobials in animals
