摘要：The use of antimicrobials in livestock production provides a basis for improving animalhealth and productivity. This in turn contributes to food security, food safety, animalwelfare, protection of livelihoods and animal resources. However, there is increasingconcern about levels of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria isolated from human, animal,food and environmental samples and how this relates to use of antimicrobials in livestockproduction. The report examines antimicrobial usage in livestock and its impact on publichealth and the food economy. Policy issues and knowledge gaps to manage antimicrobialuse and the risk of antimicrobial resistance are identified and discussed.
