Use of antimicrobials in EU - are politicians and science aligned?

摘要

There is a move to reduce the amount of antimicrobials used. Whilst cattle-only products are responsible for 3.5% of the total tonnage used in 2014 in the UK, cattle veterinarians are expected to reduce their use of antimicrobials. Responsible use guidelines and reducing the use of critically important antimicrobials are key to achieving this.
