Article Synopsis
- The use of antibiotics in livestock contributes to antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and complementary medicine could help reduce this usage but is not widely practiced.
- The "Kometian" advisory program assists farmers in treating their animals with alternative methods, with 128 out of 223 farmers utilizing its phone consultations in the first three years.
- Results showed a significant decrease in antibiotic treatments from 27 to 18 per 100 animals in the first year, indicating that Kometian may have successfully helped reduce antibiotic use on farms.
