抗生素的使用对人类健康、动物福利和食品生产非常有益，然而，在治疗传染病方面，没有抗生素的替代品。它们的使用可能会导致抗菌素耐药性的发展，但近几十年来，由于危害人类和兽医以及食品和环境安全的问题不断升级，世界已经意识到需要对抗抗菌素耐药性。了解抗菌素耐药性和明智地使用抗菌药物至关重要，一种涉及多个部门和多个学科的卫生方法对于解决这一问题至关重要。国家、区域和全球行动计划已经启动，以应对AMR的升级。抗生素在食用动物生产中经常使用。因此，食用动物生产者是防止抗生素过度使用和滥用的重要参与者。最近为应对这些挑战而制定的法规在畜牧业界并没有得到很好的认可。需要提高对这些行动计划的认识，并了解AMR的影响。应在全国范围内调查食用动物生产者对抗生素耐药性缓解方法的看法，以评估当前抗生素使用和抗生素耐药性政策的有效性。这些成果应纳入今后针对食用动物生产者的政策和宣传活动。
The use of antibiotics has been very beneficial to human health, animal wellbeing, and food production, however, there are no alternatives to antimicrobials in treating infectious diseases. Their use can contribute to the development of antimicrobial resistance, but the world has realized the need to combat antimicrobial resistance in recent decades due to the continued escalation of the problem jeopardizing human and veterinary medicine and food and environmental safety. Understanding the AMR and judicious use of antimicrobials are critical, and one health approach involving several sectors and multiple disciplines is important to tackle the problem. National, regional, and global action plans have been instigated to tackle the escalation of AMR. Antimicrobials are frequently used in food animal production. Therefore, food animal producers are important participants to prevent overuse and misuse of antimicrobials. Recent regulations to address the challenges have not been perceived well in animal farming communities. More awareness regarding these action plans and understanding the impact of AMR are needed. A nationwide survey of perceptions of food animal producers regarding AMR mitigation approaches should be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the current policies regarding antibiotics use and AMR. These outcomes should be incorporated in future policies and awareness campaigns targeting food animal producers.
