A comprehensive data basis on the use of antibiotics in agricultural businesses is an important prerequisite for making the use of antibiotics in livestock farming transparent, optimizing it and thus reducing the risks posed by resistant bacteria.
In QS Antibiotics Monitoring, veterinarians ensure a reliable data basis by recording antibiotic prescriptions for pigs, poultry and cattle in the QS Antibiotics Database.
