The research highlights the potential for more efficient and sustainable livestock production systems.

  • Implementing precision agriculture techniques to optimize feed and water usage
  • Improving animal welfare and reducing stress
  • Using alternative methods to control disease, such as vaccines and antimicrobial peptides
  • Implementing manure management systems to reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance

    • Precision Agriculture Techniques

    Precision agriculture techniques can help optimize feed and water usage, reducing the need for antibiotics. For example, a study by the University of California, Davis, found that using precision irrigation systems can reduce water usage by up to 30%.

    The 2024 UN General Assembly AMR Declaration: A Call to Action for Sustainable Agriculture

    The 2024 UN General Assembly AMR Declaration is a landmark document that highlights the urgent need to address the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the world.

    The country has identified the following key areas for tackling AMR:

    Key Areas for Tackling AMR in Pakistan

  • *Antimicrobial resistance in livestock*: The use of antimicrobials in livestock farming is a significant contributor to AMR in Pakistan. The country has a large number of small-scale farmers who use antimicrobials to treat sick animals, which can lead to the development of resistant bacteria.
  • *Antimicrobial resistance in human medicine*: The misuse of antimicrobials in human medicine is another significant contributor to AMR in Pakistan.
