国际组织和政府认为,动物卫生服务提供者可以通过促进谨慎使用抗菌剂,在限制抗菌素耐药性方面发挥至关重要的作用。然而,关于这些服务提供者对农场审慎使用的影响的研究很少,特别是在低收入和中等收入国家,因为在这些国家,审慎使用条例的执行有限。在这里,我们使用混合方法来评估加纳(n=110)和肯尼亚(n=76)蛋鸡养殖场的动物寻求健康实践如何影响自我报告的抗菌剂使用、参与谨慎的管理和停用实践以及对抗菌素耐药性的看法。总体而言,我们的结果表明,在一系列服务提供者(兽医、农用兽医和饲料分销商)中寻求健康的频率与谨慎或不谨慎的使用做法或使用的抗菌剂水平没有显著相关性。相反,我们发现抗菌剂的使用模式与农民在生物安全方面的投资(例如足浴)和以下疫苗接种方案有关。我们的结果强调,需要更多的研究来了解动物卫生服务提供者和农民之间关于抗菌剂使用和抗菌素耐药性的相互作用。解决这些差距对于为抗菌素管理培训、课程和指导方针提供信息至关重要,这些培训、课程和指南的最终目的是限制抗菌素耐药性的选择和传播。
International organizations and governments have argued that animal health service providers can play a vital role in limiting antimicrobial resistance by promoting the prudent use of antimicrobials. However, there is little research on the impact of these service providers on prudent use at the farm level, especially in low- and middle-income countries where enforcement of prudent-use regulations is limited. Here, we use a mixed-methods approach to assess how animal health-seeking practices on layer farms in Ghana (n = 110) and Kenya (n = 76) impact self-reported antimicrobial usage, engagement in prudent administration and withdrawal practices and perceptions of antimicrobial resistance. In general, our results show that the frequency of health-seeking across a range of service providers (veterinarians, agrovets, and feed distributors) does not significantly correlate with prudent or non-prudent use practices or the levels of antimicrobials used. Instead, we find that patterns of antimicrobial use are linked to how much farmers invest in biosecurity (e.g., footbaths) and the following vaccination protocols. Our results emphasize that more research is required to understand the interactions between animal health service providers and farmers regarding antimicrobial use and antimicrobial resistance. Addressing these gaps will be crucial to inform antimicrobial stewardship training, curriculums and, guidelines whose ultimate purpose is to limit the selection and transmission of antimicrobial resistance.
