This project intends to identify factors that make a pig enterprise more likely to use high levels of antibiotics and develop alternative, vaccination-based methods for disease control. The development of multi-drug resistance in zoonotic bacterial pathogens (e.g. Salmonella and Campylobacter spp.) in pigs has raised concerns that antimicrobial resistance can be transferred from livestock to humans. Although the epidemiology to support a claim that there is a causal association between antimicrobial use in food animals and public health is complex there is universal agreement that use of antimicrobials in food animal production should be minimised. This project intends to deliver outcomes that will reduce antibiotic use on commercial pig farms.

该项目旨在确定使养猪企业更有可能使用高水平抗生素的因素，并开发基于疫苗接种的替代疾病控制方法。人畜共患细菌病原体（如沙门氏菌和弯曲杆菌属）中多重耐药性的发展在猪中的耐药性引起了人们的担忧，即抗生素耐药性可以从牲畜转移到人类。虽然支持食用动物使用抗菌剂与公共卫生之间存在因果关系的流行病学是复杂的，但普遍认为应尽量减少食用动物生产中抗菌剂的使用。该项目旨在提供减少商业养猪场抗生素使用的结果。
