“New UK-Canada initiative focuses on AMR in livestock, aquaculture”

“Health officials in Canada and the United Kingdom have announced a new initiative aimed at combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in livestock and aquaculture production in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Innovet-AMR, a partnership between the UK government’s Global AMR Innovation Fund and Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC), will fund and support research to develop new animal vaccines and other innovative veterinary solutions to reduce the use of antimicrobials in livestock and aquaculture in LMICs, and will build partnerships to ensure that those solutions can be delivered in a sustainable way. The four-year initiative is being backed by $27.9 million Canadian dollars ($22.1 million USD).”
