Pls let's reduce antibiotics usage on animals.
There are ways we can reduce disease burden on farm by proper
Farm management practices.
Good waste disposal
Good farm hygiene e.g feeding troughs
Biosecurity reduce human traffic to your farm.
Govt should test for antibiotic residue bfr meat is allowed into the public.
Human cases are on the increase.
We need to do better.
More reason why
We only have two egg powder producers.
Eggs with high antibiotics residue is of low quality when converted to egg powder and local off takers won't deal.
That's another challenge local factories are facing.

We need to encourage less antibiotics usage in our Poultries.

Thanks.😊
