Routine and poorly controlled antimicrobial use in livestock and aquaculture selects resistant bacteria that can spread through animals, food, workers, waste and the environment.
#00384Prevent animal disease through vaccination, biosecurity and improved husbandry
Reduce routine antimicrobial demand by improving vaccination, hygiene, housing, stocking practices, nutrition, breeding and veterinary prevention in livestock and aquaculture.
#00382End antimicrobial growth promotion and routine prophylactic use in food production
Prohibit medically important antimicrobials for growth promotion and routine group prophylaxis while preserving supervised treatment for animals that are genuinely ill.
#00383Benchmark farm antimicrobial use and require veterinary oversight
Collect farm-level antimicrobial sales and use data by species, farm, and indication; normalize for animal populations; provide confidential benchmarking to farmers and vets; and require review and improvement plans for persistent high users.
