Veterinary antibiotic use in smallholder periurban dairy farms of India: A qualitative study

摘要

Purpose: Although veterinary use of antibiotics has been identified as a major contributor to antibiotic resistance in community and hospital acquired infectious agents, there is limited evidence on identifying the drivers of antibiotic use at a local level. In this study, we endeavored to look at knowledge-attitude-practices, influences, and drivers in the key actors in the dairy farming enterprise in peri urban India.
