According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, judicious therapeutic use of antimicrobials is a core principle of the broader goal of antimicrobial stewardship. Antimicrobial Stewardship involves maintaining animal health and welfare by implementing a variety of preventive and management strategies to prevent common diseases; using an evidence-based approach in making decisions to use antimicrobial drugs; and then using antimicrobials judiciously, sparingly, and with continual evaluation of the outcomes of therapy, respecting the client's available resources. In addition, other management and intervention strategies may be considered prior to antimicrobial therapy for infectious diseases.1
The American Association of Swine Veterinarians (AASV) has put out Basic Guidelines for Judicious Therapeutic Use of Antimicrobials that emphasizes that Swine veterinarians are dedicated to using an evidence-based approach to making decision to use antimicrobials judiciously, sparingly, and with appropriate evaluation in the outcomes of therapy. 2 This guideline also reminds veterinarians and producers that veterinarians should be in involved in a farm’s health, well-being, and production decision making process to promote and provide guidance on the core principles of antimicrobial stewardship, in furtherance of public and pig health. A full list of Judicious Therapeutic Use of Antimicrobials Principles for Swine Veterinarians can be found on the AASV website.
