ORFC 2026 8 – 9 Jan
Though UK farms have reduced their use of antibiotics by 40 percent in the past five years, resistance to antibiotics continues to rise – a threat to the health of both livestock and people. This session features a farmer who makes no use of antibiotics at all; a “technical clinic” led by a vet who will discuss preventive husbandry; and reports from a number of practical projects for better targeting of treatment, alternative treatments, and ways to engage with farmers through peer-to-peer learning.
