Staff involved: Beat Thomann and Adrian Minnig
Duration: 2022 - 2024
Antibiotics are indispensable medications for humans and animals. To ensure that antibiotics can continue to be used effectively in the future, these drugs must be selected and administered with care. The aim of this project is to find the relationship between antimicrobial usage, management factors and animal health in dairy cows in Switzerland. In addition, the relationship between antimicrobial usage, management factors and the antimicrobial resistance situation on dairy farms will be investigated.
