Overview

Descriptive cross-sectional study evaluates antibiotic use and resistance profiles in animal farms, highlighting public health concerns.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess antibiotic use practices among farmers and profile antimicrobial resistance from livestock wastes.
  • Descriptive cross-sectional study design
  • Multi-stage sampling technique for selecting farms and respondents
  • Bacteriological analysis of animal waste samples
  • Antibiotic susceptibility testing conducted on isolates
  • 66.8% of farmers demonstrated good knowledge of antibiotic use and resistance
  • 91.0% of farmers used antibiotics for growth promotion, disease treatment, and prevention
  • Commonly used antibiotics included tetracycline, ampicillin, and vancomycin
  • 240 bacterial isolates identified, with multi-drug resistance noted, particularly in Staphylococcus aureus
