Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed antimicrobial use among smallholder poultry farmers in Nigeria, highlighting concerns about antimicrobial resistance due to its frequent use in livestock production, especially in intensively managed systems compared to smallholder contexts.
- - A survey of 350 farmers revealed that 60% relied on pharmaceuticals for treatment, with 39% practicing ethnoveterinary medicine, primarily using antimicrobials to treat and prevent diseases in their birds.
- - Factors such as gender, location, education, income, and management system were linked to the choice of treatment methods, indicating a significant risk of antimicrobial resistance due to the widespread and often inappropriate use of these drugs among farmers.
