New recommendations for monitoring use of antibiotics on beef farms

An industry standard for measuring and monitoring antibiotic use on beef farms has been agreed following extensive industry consultation.

The new recommendations complement those previously agreed for monitoring antibiotic use on dairy and sheep farms.   

The recommendations developed by the Cattle Health and Welfare Group’s (CHAWG) Antimicrobial Usage (AMU) Subgroup are based on research work undertaken by the University of Bristol and extensive industry consultation.
