Abstract

Antimicrobial use in animal production has lead to a great reduction of infectious diseases in animals used as protein source. Additionally to the reduction of infectious disorders, a reduction of transmission risks of infectious agents to consumers is also achieved and, also, an increase in food chain safety. Antimicrobial use is always related to resistance generation. In order to minimise the appearance risk of these resistances and to control their spread, it is very important to implement guidelines to force a prudent use of antimicrobials.
