“…In livestock, antibiotics are mainly used to treat diseases. Two hospital-based studies reported that antimicrobials were prescribed to treat 56–66% of sick animals [ 58 , 59 ]. The most commonly prescribed antibiotics were streptomycin–penicillin (31%) followed by sulfadimidine (14%), amoxicillin (11%), gentamicin–sulfadiazine–trimethoprim combination (9%), and tylosin (1%) [ 58 ].…”

Antibiotic Usage and Resistance in Food Animal Production: What Have We Learned from Bangladesh?

Irrational and inappropriate use of antibiotics in commercial chicken and aquaculture industries can accelerate the antibiotic resistance process in humans and animals. In Bangladesh, the growing commercial chicken and aquaculture industries are playing significantly important roles in the food value chain. It is necessary to know the antibiotic usage practices and antibiotic resistance in food animal production to design rational policies, guidelines, and interventions. We conducted a narrative review to understand the level of antibiotic usage and resistance in food animal production in Bangladesh. Information about antibiotic usage in different food animal production systems, including commercial chickens and aquaculture in Bangladesh is inadequate. Only a few small-scale studies reported that the majority (up to 100%) of the broiler and layer chicken farms used antibiotics for treating and preventing diseases. However, numerous studies reported antibiotic-resistant bacteria of public health importance in commercial chicken, fish, livestock, and animal origin food. The isolates from different pathogenic bacteria were found resistant against multiple antibiotics, including quinolones, the third or fourth generation of cephalosporins, and polymyxins. Veterinary practitioners empirically treat animals with antibiotics based on presumptive diagnosis due to inadequate microbial diagnostic facilities in Bangladesh. Intensive training is helpful to raise awareness among farmers, feed dealers, and drug sellers on good farming practices, standard biosecurity practices, personal hygiene, and the prudent use of antibiotics. Urgently, the Government of Bangladesh should develop and implement necessary guidelines to mitigate irrational use of antibiotics in food animals using a multi-sectoral One Health approach.

“…Bangladesh, a populous country where livestock sector is contributing a dominating role (16.23 %) in the national GDP [1]. A total of 23.8 million cattle, 26.2 million goat and 320.6 million poultry comprises the major livestock population of this country [2,3] potentially contributing to combat the growing demand of milk, meat and egg. Unfortunately, seasonal pattern of this country has changed, which ultimately act as a threat on livestock sector due to the increased incidence of different pests and parasite [4].…”

“…Unfortunately, seasonal pattern of this country has changed, which ultimately act as a threat on livestock sector due to the increased incidence of different pests and parasite [4]. In Bangladesh, the animal healthcare facility is mainly Government hospital based, which are located at almost every upazilla across the country for providing Veterinary health care facilities to the animals [2]. Most of the Veterinary hospital has a well-structured disease record system which can provide a comprehensive idea about the disease problems at local areas as well as country perspective.…”

“…Moreover, the efficacy of drugs, in addition to their dose and prescribing pattern to treat animal diseases has not been ascertained yet in Bangladesh [9,10]. Earlier some studies have published drug prescribing pattern mostly concise with species specific or disease specific [2,11,12]. So, this study aimed to estimate the proportion of use of different antibiotics and supporting drugs against a wide variety of animal diseases.…”

A descriptive epidemiological study has been conducted using hospital database of Teaching Veterinary Hospital (TVH) at Jhenaidah Government Veterinary College (JGVC) from July 2018 to June 2019. The study aimed to estimate the proportionate prevalence of different livestock and poultry diseases along with their spatiotemporal distribution and drug prescribing pattern. A total of 960 clinical cases were recorded during the study period. Ectoparasitic cases were proportionately higher in cattle (25.2%), whereas Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) cases were more frequent in goat (53.4%). The proportionate prevalence of other cases in cattle was Fascioliasis (14.3%), Myiasis (11.2%) and Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) (7.2%). The proportionate prevalence of other cases in goats were vitamin and mineral deficiency (12.3%), bloat (5.2%), abscess (4.7%), and dog bite (1.2%). Again, the proportionate prevalence of poultry diseases was Infectious Bursal Disease (41.2%), salmonellosis (33.4%), fowl cholera (13.7%) and pox (7.8%). Most of the cattle cases were highly prevalent during the summer season except fascioliasis. In goat, PPR was predominated in the rainy season whereas myiasis was in the winter. Around 92% of disease cases were spatially located within the 2.5 km radius of the TVH of JGVC where only 0.9% of disease cases came from >10km away from TVH of JGVC. Simple linear regression identified a significant relation (p=0.01) with the distance and number of diseased animals came to the hospital. Antimicrobials belonging to b-Lactam group were most frequently prescribed for both poultry (48.6%), cattle (32.5%) followed by goat (9.2%), however sulfar drugs (34.8%) were commonly prescribed for goat cases. This type of study is very novel in Jhenaidah region of Bangladesh that might contribute to the researchers for further investigation.
