Livestock Health: Homoeopathy and Phytotherapy

A pressing issue for global farming is the over-use of veterinary pharmaceuticals, including antibiotics and anthelmintics, and the resulting impacts on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and biodiversity loss. One of the ways to reduce antibiotic use on farms is to use well documented alternatives, such as homoeopathy and phytotherapy. In the UK, with so few homoeopathically trained vets in farm practice, farmers have found it difficult to know how best to do this. This talk will briefly outline the principles underlying successful use, the different ways homoeopathy can be used on the farm, and present comments from those who have used what they have learnt to successfully incorporate homoeopathy into their management systems.
