Dr Annabel Harris, a vet based in North Canterbury, provides an update on antimicrobial resistance in New Zealand livestock.

She examines the spectrum of approaches from routine use to targeted therapies, and how improving farmer knowledge and practical experience with preventive measures - better animal nutrition for immunity, good vaccination programme and biosecurity to keep disease from entering the farm are important in the success.

Annabel highlights the progress made in the improved knowledge in dry cow therapy, showing how there are continued ways farmers can protect animal health, safeguarding critical antibiotics for humans.
