In this cross-sectional study, data were collected from responses to a questionnaire on dispensing frequencies of antimicrobials used by dairy practitioners in Ontario in dairy cattle in 2001. Data were validated through clinical case scenarios. Respondents reported using antimicrobials across all categories of importance to human medicine (medically important, Categories I to III) with a diversity of treatment combinations and routes of administration. Respondents anticipated that a request for direct veterinary supervision by producers was dependent on case severity, highlighting the importance of on-farm diagnostic and treatment protocols. Knowledge of the antimicrobials used in lactating cow therapy, and their frequency and reasons for use, will provide baseline information and contribute to antimicrobial stewardship in this food-animal production sector.
在这项横断面研究中，数据收集自安大略省奶牛从业者于2001年对奶牛使用抗菌药物的给药频率调查问卷的回复。数据通过临床病例场景进行了验证。受访者报告称，在对人类医学具有重要意义的所有类别（医学上重要的，I至III类）抗菌药物的使用中，存在多种治疗组合和给药途径。受访者预计，生产者要求直接兽医监督取决于病例的严重程度，这突出了农场诊断和治疗方案的重要性。了解泌乳奶牛治疗中使用的抗菌药物及其使用频率和原因，将提供基线信息，并有助于该食用动物生产部门的抗菌药物管理。
