Collecting data on antibiotic use in U.S. poultry production
Antimicrobial Use Data Collection in the U.S. Poultry Production System
['FUNDING_U01'] · MINDWALK CONSULTING GROUP, LLC · NIH-11088612
This study is looking to better understand how antibiotics are used on chicken farms by collecting detailed information about why they're used, how much is given, and how well the treatments work, all to help keep both animals and people healthy.

What this research studies
This research aims to improve the understanding of antimicrobial use (AMU) in the poultry industry by developing a system to collect detailed data on how antibiotics are used on farms. It will gather information on the reasons for antibiotic use, the specific dosages and administration methods, and the outcomes of treatment. By creating a nationally representative dataset, the project seeks to enhance antimicrobial stewardship and combat antibiotic resistance in both animal and human health.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for benefiting from this research include individuals concerned about antibiotic resistance and those involved in poultry production or consumption.
Not a fit: Patients who are not involved in poultry production or who do not consume poultry products may not receive direct benefits from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to better management of antibiotic use in poultry, ultimately reducing the risk of antibiotic-resistant bacteria affecting human health.
How similar studies have performed: Other research has shown success in improving antimicrobial stewardship through data collection in agricultural settings, indicating that this approach has potential for meaningful impact.
