Hyde, Robert; Tisdall, David; Gordon, Paddy; Remnant, John

Abstract

Background: There has been much scrutiny of antimicrobial use in the livestock sector, since the O’Neill report, a 2015 government -commissioned review of antimicrobial resistance, called for the agriculture industry to reduce its use of antimicrobials.

Aim of the article: This article outlines key herd health approaches to common diseases on dairy farms that will result in a decrease in antimicrobial use, with a focus on those interventions that are most likely to result in the biggest reductions.
