“…In this study, numbers of samples (9) with detectable amount of oxytetracycline were found in Thai Koi. This result agree with the finding of Ali et al (2016), where they reported that the proportion of farmers using antibiotics within the koi farm group (15% of farms). They also reported Koi and Pangas farmers used the most varied of antibiotics and oxytetracycline is the most commonly used antibiotic compounds followed by others.…”

Bangladesh is uniquely rich in productive water resources and blessed with diversified fisheries resources (Kibria and Ahmed, 2005) which are composed of 260 freshwater native species, 12 species of exotic fishes, 24 species of freshwater prawn, 475 marine fish species and 36 species of marine shrimp (Haque, 2005). In Bangladesh, about 63% animal protein of our meal comes from fisheries resources (Ahmed, 2005). That's why fish and fisheries are the essential part of Bangladeshi people from the time immemorial and play a dynamic role in the meeting up nutritional demand, generating employment, earning foreign currency and other aspects of the economy (Alam, 2002). On the other hand due to favorable climatic condition the water bodies are highly productive and aquaculture is an important commercially viable activity and also plays a major role in country's total production from fisheries sector (DoF, 2003). Thai koi (Anabas testudineus) is one of the common exotic fish species in Bangladesh. It is considered as an economic and important fish because of its high market demand, potentialities for intensive culture of species, having shorter life cycle, faster growth rate and high nutritious food value and delicious taste (Kohinoor et al., 2010). Different infectious and non-infectious diseases constitute major constraints to aquaculture production (Bagumire et al., 2010). In Bangladesh, disease outbreaks have been recognized ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE

“…This may be an artefact of response bias, and in part a reflection of some degree of uncertainty about what various treatments contained. However, low to zero use is consistent with other research (Rico et al 2013, Ali et al 2016, with our interviews with supply shop owners and more broadly with the experience of the wider research team in Bangladesh. Antibiotics are certainly freely available, and a viable option for some of the smaller ponds, but at present their use tends to be only as a last resort.…”

Widespread antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a threat to public and animal health, and has consequences for the structure and sustainability of food production. The problem is often framed as one of inappropriate antimicrobial use, which drives emergence and selection of resistant microbes. The answer to this framing of the problem is to lower disease incidence and transmission rates, regulate antimicrobial uses and to educate prescribers and users of medicines. In this paper we argue that this seemingly straightforward programme of action is beset by at least two difficulties. First, in many parts of the world, disease dynamics and antimicrobial uses are embedded within biosocially demanding settings. Second, antibiotic use is one among many possible drivers of resistance. We focus on the aquatic environment and aquacultural food production where resistance drivers may relate to a variety of processes. Using interviews, survey data, and participatory modelling exercises with competency groups in Bangladesh's shrimp and prawn aquaculture sector, we demonstrate the need to understand economic and biological drivers of disease, farmer adaptations to disease risks and the potential paradox of pursuing pathogen-free food production as a means to reduce AMR risks. We argue that the AMR problem needs to be framed as an adaptive rather than technical challenge, and involves ownership, change and experimentation across a range of relevant sites.

“…Cattle production is the third largest animal farming in the world (approximately 65 million globally), after swine and poultry (Food et al, 2014). China (6.7 million), Brazil (9.6 million), the United States (US) (11.4 million), the 28 member countries of the European Union (7.5 million), and India (4.5 million) are the fundamental cattle-producing countries in the world, resulting in an excess of one billion cattle population in 2015 (Ali et al, 2016). Cattle raising at massive levels normally involves moving animals from cow-calf systems (a permanent herd used to produce young beef), to back grounding (postweaning intermediate feeding, normally forage-based diets) and feedlot (a building where livestock are fattened for market, usually with high-energy grain-based diets).…”
