Save lives and livelihoods by following the advice in this flyer starting today.
When an infection strikes, and medicines like antibiotics (and other antimicrobials) do not work, you can lose your entire stock of animals to disease. This also puts the health of you and your family at risk when the infection can spread between animals and people.
Every time we use antimicrobials like antibiotics to treat infections in people, animals and plants, these germs have a chance to learn how to tolerate these treatments, making them less effective over time.
There are two main reasons why antimicrobials don’t cure an infection:
• They are the wrong treatment or have been used improperly.
• The germs causing the infection have become resistant to this treatment in a process called antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
AMR is leading to the failure of our most important medicines. Without working antimicrobials, many more people, animals and plants are at risk of dying from infections.
But we can take action now to keep antimicrobials working.
Read and share this flyer, which includes ten key actions for farmers to keep animals and people healthy, and antimicrobials working. Healthy animals, happy farmers!
