Abstract

Dr Bonanno says by measuring and reporting antibiotic use onfarm and identifying the key reasons they are used, he and his team are able to reduce antibiotic use without compromising animal wellbeing or mortality rates. Veterinarian counterparts Dr Sunita McGrath and Dr Robert Bonanno, from NZ and Australia respectively, agree on pretty much everything. Like Dr Bonanno, Dr McGrath says the key to a good outcome is early intervention and the right diagnosis.
