This guide provides a framework for the dairy industry to manage the risks associated with treatments necessary for good animal health and welfare.
It provides an overview of relevant good agricultural practices, as well as targeted fact sheets for dairy farmers, veterinarians, food processing and pharmaceutical companies and competent authorities.
The guide is being presented today at the OIE Global Conference on the Responsible and Prudent Use of Antimicrobial Agents for Animals.
“I’m very pleased that IDF collaborated with OIE to develop these guidelines for improving the care of milking animals,” said Dr Jeremy Hill, IDF president. “It’s fundamental that milk and meat are produced from healthy animals with controlled use of antimicrobial agents.”
