Reducing antibiotic use on sheep farms at lambing time through best practice management, by improving nutrition and hygiene

The global burden of antimicrobial resistant infections is growing and poses a serious threat to human and animal health.

This project is further developing the research that changes in flock management, mainly through improved nutrition and hygiene, can reduce the need for antibiotics and at the same time increase production, while maintaining high standards of animal health and welfare. It also provides a safe and healthy food supply when there are concerns that food producing animals may contribute to the development of human antibiotic resistance.
