Poultry Disease

[Amir Sohel]

Antimicrobial resistance in poultry poses a significant challenge to disease management, leading to treatment failures, increased mortality, and potential zoonotic transmission of resistant bacteria to humans.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in poultry poses significant challenges to disease management, leading to treatment failures, economic losses, and increased public health risks due to the emergence of resistant bacteria and the potential for zoonotic transmission.

[Oladapo Joda]

Good points raised on AMR. Let me add that the effect of AMR goes beyond the animals. The end point of the animal being treated is human consumption. Due to the increased use of antibiotics to treat resistant pathogens, there is a high risk of antibiotics residue in animal products. Consumption of such products leads to AMR in humans. This raises food safety concerns and it therefore becomes important to prevent AMR.

[Olayiwola Danso]

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites develop resistance to drugs designed to kill them. In poultry farming, AMR poses a serious threat to disease management, bird health, farm productivity, and food safety.

1. Reduced effectiveness of treatments.

2. Increased treatments costs.

3. Higher risk of secondary infections.

4. Food safety and public health concern

5. Biosecurity and farm sustainability challenges

[Md kayum]

Decrease the efficacy/efficiency/effectiveness of antibiotics, disease outbreaks, increased production costs & health concerns.

[Md. Osman Sheikh]

Treatment failures, increased mortality, and the spread of resistant bacteria.
