The comparison and use of tools for quantification of antimicrobial use in Indonesian broiler farms.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Indonesia has a large broiler industry with extensive antimicrobial use (AMU) according to empirical evidence. However, there are no quantitative data of on-farm AMU. Quantification of AMU at farm level is crucial to guide interventions on antimicrobial stewardship (AMS). The objective of this study was to compare on-farm AMU monitoring methods, to assess which monitoring method is best suited to gain insight in the quantitative AMU at farm level in medium-scale Indonesian broiler farms.

Method

AMU was calculated using four different indicators-mg/PCU (mass-based), TF_UDDindo (Treatment Frequency of Used Daily Dose, dose-based), TF_DDDvet (Treatment Frequency of Defined Daily Dose, dose-based), and TF_{count - based} (count-based)-for
