This editorial summarizes the key observations from a special issue of Animal Health Research Reviews comprising 14 articles related to the efficacy of antimicrobial and non-antimicrobial approaches to reduce disease in beef, dairy cattle, swine, and broiler chickens. The articles used evidence-based methods, including scoping reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and network meta-analyses. Despite finding evidence of efficacy for some of the interventions examined, across the body of research, there was a lack of replication and inconsistency in outcomes among the included trials, and concerns related to completeness of reporting and trial design and execution. There is an urgent need for more and better data to inform antimicrobial stewardship practices in animal agriculture.
本社论总结了动物健康研究评论特刊中的关键观察结果，该特刊包含了 14 篇与减少牛肉、奶牛、猪和肉鸡疾病的抗菌和非抗菌方法的疗效相关的文章。这些文章采用了循证方法，包括范围综述、系统综述、荟萃分析和网络荟萃分析。尽管发现了一些干预措施的疗效证据，但在整个研究中，纳入的试验在结果上缺乏复制性和一致性，并且与报告的完整性以及试验设计和执行有关的问题。迫切需要更多和更好的数据来为动物农业中的抗菌药物管理实践提供信息。
