Frequently used antimicrobials in Tanzania’s commercial Poultry Production
This poster, originally presented at the 2024 ReAct Africa and South Centre Conference, shares findings from a study exploring the potential contribution of Infection, Prevention and Control (IPC) in reduction of AMR.
High incidences of diseases in poultry production systems are often caused by inadequate vaccination and other biosecurity measures, which fail to prevent the introduction and spread of diseases in poultry farms. Consequently, high incidence of diseases is associated with increased use of antimicrobials to treat sick chicken. The use of antimicrobials serves as a selective pressure for the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
