Antibiotic use and knowledge of antibiotic resistance among pig farmers in Ejisu and Juaben municipalities of Ashanti region, Ghana
Introduction: the indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to the development of antibiotic-resistant pathogens which have now become a threat to public health. Antibiotic use is high in poultry and pig production, compared to other food-producing animals, yet in Ghana, there is limited data and surveillance studies on their use. The study investigates the knowledge of farmers on antibiotics and antimicrobial resistance.
