Summary
This review examines veterinary antibiotic use within Canadian livestock systems, synthesising evidence on current practices, associated antimicrobial resistance risks, and policy mechanisms for responsible stewardship. The authors evaluate the Canadian context against international best practice, offering perspective on how agricultural antibiotic governance might be strengthened to protect both animal and human health.
UK applicability
Whilst geographically specific to Canada, the review's analysis of resistance risks and stewardship approaches is relevant to UK livestock regulation and animal health policy, which face similar pressures from antimicrobial resistance. Direct regulatory comparison would require consideration of differing national frameworks.
Key measures
Antibiotic use prevalence, resistance patterns, regulatory frameworks, stewardship practices
Outcomes reported
The study likely reviews patterns of veterinary antibiotic use in Canadian agriculture, associated public health and environmental risks, and stewardship or regulatory approaches to reduce unnecessary use.
