Responsible antibiotic use
Antibiotics are undoubtedly one of the most important achievements of modern medicine - also in veterinary medicine. They enable the successful treatment of bacterial infections that were often life -threatening. But as in human medicine, it can also be seen here: A too frequent or uncritical use of antibiotics can have far -reaching negative consequences - both for the individual animal and for animal population as a whole. Side effects such as gastrointestinal complaints are only part of the problem. The increasing formation of resistant germs is much more serious, against which at some point there is hardly any antibiotic. That is why it is more important than ever to decide antibiotic agencies consciously and with a sense of proportion.
