Assessing the Feasibility of a Two-Cohort Design to Assess the Potential of Homeopathic Medicinal Products to Reduce Antimicrobial Resistance in Turkeys

The HOMAMR project aims to investigate the potential role of homeopathic medicinal products (HMPs) in combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in turkeys. The project involves a two-cohort feasibility study using retrospective turkey-farm data, followed by a prospective two-cohort study to examine the impact of HMPs on changing antibiotic use. The study will assess the feasibility of collecting data retrospectively on turkeys managed conventionally or with HMPs, comparing antimicrobial use and production period-related mortality. This is the first feasibility study on turkey treatment using homeopathy.
