Description

With increasing public, political and scientific pressure to reduce the use of antibiotics in humans and animals, there is much talk about the reduction of the use of antibiotics in food producing species. But what does ‘reducing’ antibiotics mean? How can vets measure antibiotic use and how can this affect what ‘reduction’ is measured? Should we be reducing the use of certain antibiotics as a priority over others (if so which and why?) and will a reduction in use really lead to a reduction in resistance? This webinar will tackle all of these questions and will likely result in more questions than answers! However, with all eyes on how the veterinary profession responds to the problem of antibiotic resistance, vets need to be ready to face these questions and consider how their actions could influence this global threat to human and animal health.
