Researchers use water troughs to monitor resistant bacteria and help decide which antibiotics should be administered
Researchers are seeking ways to manage antimicrobial-resistant bacteria on farms, including quicker evaluation of bacteria so treatment can be better targeted. Agriculture Canada and University of Saskatchewan veterinary school researchers are studying feedlot water troughs, hoping the water can tell them what sort of anti-microbial resistant bacteria are present. “By knowing what type of resistance […] Read more
