Mitigating the spread of antimicrobials and resistant microbes through treatment of manure
This poster, originally presented at the 2023 ReAct Africa and South Centre Conference, outlines the challenges and preliminary results from the first year of a project in Tanzania that aims to reduce the environmental spread of antimicrobials through improved poultry manure processing technology. The project also aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of commercial poultry manure farmers and processors regarding manure use and its potential food safety risks.
Key achievements to date include:
- Development of KAP assessment tools and standardised manure processing protocols.
- Creation of baseline data collection instruments, including questionnaires on antimicrobial use (AMU), manure management practices, and economic factors, as well as checklists for focus group discussions and guides for in-depth interviews.
- Completion of KAP data collection in Morogoro, with analysis underway.
