Risks associated with the useof antimicrobials in animals worldwide

摘要

The OIE has evaluated the quality of national animal health systems, including Veterinary Services, in more than 120 countries.More than 100 of the countries evaluated — mainly developing and emerging countries — do not yet have relevant legislation concerning appropriate conditions for the importation, manufacture, distribution and use of veterinary products, including antimicrobials. In some cases, legislation is totally non-existent. Where it does exist, it is very often not properly applied because of a lack of public funds for the implementation of controls.
