| With effect from 1 April 2019 pig scheme members must ensure that staff deemed competent by the vet to administer medicines and veterinary treatments have read the Practical Guide to Responsible Use of Antibiotics on Farm, which is available to download from the AHDB website here. These guidelines offer advice on using antibiotics whenever the pig farm’s veterinary surgeon recommends them to be appropriate. Contingency planning guidance issued by Red Tractor in the summer last year is also worth highlighting in these uncertain times. All information on the Red Tractor scheme can be found on the Red Tractor website. |
