Access to services and drugs, and practices and knowledge related to antimicrobial resistance, among smallholder pig farmers in Uganda

(Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, 2022) Magnusson, Ulf; Mainack Dione, Michael; Nohrborg, Sandra

To mitigate the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), antibiotic use (ABU) in the livestock sector needs to be reduced. In low- and middle-income countries, regulations have shown to be less successful in reducing ABU. Here, a bottom-up approach can complement legal frameworks which requires an understanding of the drivers for ABU. In this study, we investigated the influence of geographic and socioeconomic settings on determinants for ABU among pig farmers in Uganda. The data was collected through a questionnaire (containing 75 questions) in two districts, Lira and Mukono, and comparative statistical analyses were performed. Farmers in Lira had lower access to animal health services, applied disease preventive measures less and used antibiotics more. In Mukono, it was more common to consult a veterinarian in response to disease, while it in Lira was more common to consult an animal health worker. There was no difference in how many that followed treatment instructions from a veterinarian, but it was more common in Lira to follow instructions from pharmacies. The findings support the need for locally tailored AMR-reducing interventions to complement regulations. To accomplish this tailoring, systematic collection of knowledge of farm structures, farm practices and access to animal health services and veterinary drugs is necessary.

Antibiotikaanvändning på små och medelstora grisgårdar – grishållares kunskap och agerande i nordöstra Thailand

(SLU, 2020-11) Magnusson, Ulf

Datamaterialet samlades in i Oktober till December 2018 genom strukturella intervjuer med grishållare på små och medelstora grisgårdar i Khon Kaen-provinsen i nordöstra Thailand. Små gårdar kategoriserades som gårdar med färre än 50 suggor medan medelstora gårdar hade mellan 100 och 500 suggor. Frågeformuläret innehöll både flervalsfrågor och öppna frågor. Svaren samlades in med hjälp av mobilapplikationen Open Data Kit (ODK) och exporterades sedan till Microsoft Excel. Sammanlagt intervjuades 164 grishållare. Alla som intervjuades informerades om syftet med datainsamlingen och att deras svar skulle vara anonyma och alla gav sitt medgivande innan intervjun påbörjades. Det huvudsakliga syftet med datainsamlingen var att samla in data om antibiotikaanvändning på grisgårdar av olika intensitetsgrad (d.v.s. små och medelstora) och om grishållarnas kunskap om antibiotikaanvändning och antibiotikaresistens.
