Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Not applicable; this is a data-collection effort on poultry farms.
✕Less likely to help
No direct patient participants; farmers and facilities supply data.
What this research studies
This project will expand on-farm data collection about which antimicrobials are used in poultry, how they’re given (dose, route, duration, animal age), and the indications for use. It aims to build a representative, public-private system that links usage data to disease incidence and treatment outcomes. By understanding real-world AMU patterns, we can guide practices to preserve antibiotic effectiveness for both animals and people.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Better, data-driven antibiotic stewardship in poultry could reduce resistance and improve animal health and public safety.
How similar studies have gone: Previous AMU data efforts show that on-farm data collection is feasible and improves stewardship, though national datasets are still developing.
