Exploring Manure Technologies to Reduce AMR in the Environment Manure is an essential natural fertilizer, but we know that manure is a potential mechanism to transport antibiotic-resistant bacteria or genes. In this video, we meet some scientists exploring how…

Manure is a great source of nutrients for plants, but that isn't the only thing #manure adds to the soil. #AMR is present in manure too. But there are treatments to decrease the amount of AMR in manure! youtu.be/Eu1va462v6A?...

Veterinary Feed Directive for Animal Producers Starting January 1, 2017, medically important antimicrobials in medicated feed will become veterinary feed directive (VFD) drugs. The resulting VFD feed must be authorized by a licensed veterinarian…

Antibiotics are important for animal health too! 8 years ago the FDA changed US rules for #antibiotics in animal feeds. The change is meant to reduce #AntibioticResistance in animal production & preserve antibiotics for animal (& human) health. youtu.be/x11aWQ4bxVU

Have you ever read something that referred to medically important antibiotics and wondered: But aren't all #antibiotics medically important? In general medically important is referring to human medicine and doesn't include antibiotics used only for animals.

#Bacteria are pretty neat. Did you know they can even pass their genes between species?! Sounds cool but it could mean trouble if they are passing genes that have developed resistance to #antibiotics. Learn more: iamrproject.unl.edu #AntibioticResistance

Real talk, #antibioticresistance is getting serious and that means that some common illnesses will be harder to treat. To address the problem the first thing is we need a lot more people to know there is a problem - so tell everyone you know: #AMR is serious.
