Awareness of antimicrobial resistance and antibiotic use among poultry farmers in Accra, Ghana: A cross-sectional survey

20251 citationOpen accessAccra Technical University

Abstract

Inappropriate antibiotic use is highly prevalent among poultry farmers in Accra, and awareness of AMR is low. These findings underscore an urgent need to strengthen veterinary oversight and enforce regulations on antibiotic sales. Educating farmers through a One Health approach is also recommended to promote prudent antibiotic use and curb the rise of antimicrobial resistance.
