The use of antimicrobials in animals for growth promotion and infection prevention significantly contributes to the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a growing public health threat. While the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations (UN) and the European Union (EU) have taken steps towards reducing and restricting the use of antimicrobials in animals, initiatives are insufficient in developing countries where the demands for food animals continue to rise over the years. The inter-sectoral acknowledgment of inextricable link between animal health, human health and the environment (One Health approach) is critical. Concerted and collaborative efforts among all the stakeholders are essential to deal with this complex problem of resistance.
在动物中使用抗生素来促进生长和预防感染，这极大地促成了抗生素耐药性（AMR）的发展，而 AMR 是一个日益严重的公共卫生威胁。虽然世界卫生组织（WHO）、联合国（UN）和欧盟（EU）已经采取措施减少和限制动物中抗生素的使用，但在发展中国家，这些措施还远远不够，因为这些国家对食品动物的需求多年来持续增长。人们必须认识到动物健康、人类健康和环境之间（“同一健康”方法）存在着不可分割的联系。所有利益攸关方必须共同努力，协同合作，才能解决这一复杂的耐药问题。
