Farm antibiotic use in Belgium
ثبت نشده
چکیده
No Belgian data is available on antibiotic use in different species as many antibiotic products sold to veterinarians and pharmacies can be used in different species. In order to get data on species use and actual usage data, a new online tool for collecting this data has developed and launched by the “Agence Fédérale des Medicaments et des Produits de Santé” [2]. During 2016 veterinarians prescribing for pig, poultry and veal-calf farmers will be required to submit data. Submitting data for use in cattle will be voluntary.
