How to reduce the use of antimicrobial treatments in poultry in order to fight the spread of antimicrobial resistance?
The final report from this Focus Group has been published.
Find all the information at a glance in the 'Reducing antimicrobial use in poultry farming' factsheet.
Tasks:
- Identify innovative hygienic and treatment practices (housing systems, feeding, heating, etc.) in order to reduce or even stop the use of antimicrobials.
- Make an inventory of specific alternatives to antimicrobials including vaccination, feeding approaches and breeding. Document good practices.
- Analyse the economic implications (cost-benefit, risk, investment needs) of these alternative practices. Identify the financial parameters needed to evaluate and compare the economics of existing strategies and innovative solutions to reducing the use of antimicrobials.
- Propose potential innovative actions and ideas for Operational Groups in order to develop and explore (integrated) strategies to reduce the use of antimicrobials and protect health and welfare of livestock.
- Identify needs from practice and possible knowledge gaps which could be solved by further research.
- List good practices on how to change attitudes, habits and the human behaviour of farmers, agri-advisers and veterinarians and also on how to improve the dissemination of information.
