Measuring farm level antimicrobial use in low and middle income countries as part of implementation research projects

Rodolphe Mader took part in the 4th AACTING Conference in Vienna, where he presented about the measurement of farm level antimicrobial use in low and middle income countries as part of implementation research projects. He highlighted specific challenges that ICARS is facing in implementation research projects in LMICs to measure antimicrobial use. He also presented possible solutions to address these challenges.
