29th May 2024 / By Alistair Driver

The NPA has published a briefing document outlining what the new Veterinary Medicines Regulation (VMR), which came into force on May 17, means for pig production.

The briefing outlines how the AMR-specific changes that have been introduced may affect producers and their farm practices.

It covers:

  • Routine and prophylactic use of antibiotics
  • Mandatory management reviews
  • In-feed antibiotic use
  • Oral administration of antibiotic products in drinking water
