Antibiotic Reduction Experiences in the UK Poultry Industry

The drive to promote antimicrobial stewardship goes beyond the intermediate goal of reducing antibiotic use.

It's about the need to have medicines available that ensure health and welfare for both humans and animals.

Antibiotic reduction is above all a way to reduce the incidence of antibiotic resistance that threatens to undermine the use of these treatment tools.

Featured expert Daniel Parker, Senior Veterinarian in Slate Hall Veterinary Practice, shared his perspective on recent successes and practical insights from the UK broiler industry.

MAIN TOPICS

• How the UK poultry meat sector reduced total use of antibiotics by 80% in 6 years
• Practical approaches to reducing antibiotic usage
• Current issues in broiler production e.g. chick quality, leg and gut health
• Conclusions and future challenges
