Effect of welfare standards and biosecurity practices on antimicrobial use in beef cattle

A. Diana, V. Lorenzi, et al.

This study by Alessia Diana and colleagues uncovers a significant link between higher welfare standards and reduced antimicrobial use in beef cattle. The findings highlight the critical role of animal welfare in enhancing antimicrobial stewardship, shedding light on areas where biosecurity and emergency management can improve.

Abstract
This study investigated the impact of welfare standards and biosecurity on antimicrobial use (AMU) in beef cattle. Data from 27 farms over 3.5 years showed that higher welfare standards were associated with significantly lower AMU. Biosecurity and emergency management scores were low, suggesting a need for improvement in these areas. The study highlights the importance of improved animal welfare for efficient antimicrobial stewardship.
