“…We applied a grounded theory approach to text analysis. Grounded theory, an inductive and iterative method of data analysis, builds a conceptual understanding of qualitative data through a series of coding steps on qualitative data [22]. This method is frequently used in KII analysis as it enables the sorting, synthesis, and conceptualization of large amounts of qualitative data [22].…”

“…From 2015 to 2017, antimicrobial sales for food animal production were reduced by 43%. Research suggests that there was no economic impact to meat production, and livestock producers engaged more heavily with their veterinarians to implement better management strategies [22]. One ongoing critique of GFI #213 is that it has not resolved antimicrobial labeling issues; most antimicrobial labels still do not specify duration of use dosage and antimicrobial regime [23].…”

Antimicrobials are widely used worldwide in food animal production for controlling and preventing disease and for improving feed conversion efficiency and growth promotion. Inappropriate use of antimicrobials in animal agriculture has the potential to promote antimicrobial resistance, which represents a threat to human, animal, and environmental health. State and municipal policies in the United States have recently been implemented to improve antimicrobial use and reporting in this sector. This study analyzed the implementation of two state-level policies (California (CA) and Maryland (MD)) and a city-level policy in San Francisco (SF), California that aimed to reduce the use of antimicrobials in food-animals and increase transparency of antimicrobial use. A qualitative analysis was based on in-depth interviews with key informants (KIs) (n = 19) who had direct experience implementing or working in the context of these sub-national policies. Interviews were recorded and transcriptions were analyzed independently by two researchers using a three-stage, grounded theory coding procedure. This study identified four major findings, including 1) vague language on antimicrobial use within policies reduces policy effectiveness; 2) the lack of reporting by producers challenges the ability to evaluate the impact of the policies on actual use; 3) diverse stakeholders need to be involved in order to develop a more effective policy; and 4) funding should be linked to the policy to provide for reporting and data analysis. This analysis provides insights on the successes and failures of existing policies and serves to inform future sub-national policies aiming to improve the judicious use of antimicrobials in food-animals.

“…Reducing the systematic preventative use of antibiotics to limit the spread of antimicrobial resistance, while of paramount importance for public and animal health, implies economic consequences for agricultural supply chains (Ryan, 2019; Sneeringer et al, 2020). We explore how the structure of supply chain relationships influences the incentives (or disincentives) for farmers to engage in production practices that are optimal from public and animal health perspectives.…”

“…Antibiotic efficiency in the young bull sector is decreasing due to the general overuse of antibiotics. This phenomenon is extensive and of growing concern worldwide, with similar problems arising in other countries (Diana et al, 2021;Laxminarayan et al, 2013;OECD, 2015;Sneeringer et al, 2020).…”

Reducing the over‐use of preventative antibiotics in animal production to limit the spread of antimicrobial resistance is important for public health and animal health. We explore how supply chain relationships influence the incentives for beef farmers to engage in production practices, including antibiotic use, that are optimal from public and animal health perspectives. We examine the case of the French young bull sector, where animals are gathered, mixed, and transported over long distances, increasing the risk of developing the bovine respiratory disease (BRD). Interviews with economic actors in the French young bull sector reveal how transaction costs and patterns of vertical coordination influence the incidence of BRD and the preventative use of antibiotics. Dispersed supply chains with low levels of vertical coordination inhibit information flows about vaccination status and reduces incentives for cow‐calf producers to adopt optimal animal health management practices.

“…Discussions are still ongoing about the costs related to the use of antibiotics in cattle, as well as the potential health and economic impacts of not using them (Lhermie et al 2018;Sneeringer et al 2020). Meanwhile, only a few well-planned trials assessing the curative efficacy of the drugs have been published.…”

The aim of this study was to comparatively evaluate the efficacy of different antimicrobial agents against interdigital necrobacillosis (IN) in cattle to identify the treatment with the greatest benefit. A network meta-analysis was used to synthesise empirical results from randomised controlled trials. Four studies with five interventions for 565 animals were included. The meta-analysis found no significant differences between the risk ratios for the antimicrobials versus placebo. However, ceftiofur sodium administered intramuscularly at a dose of 1.0 µg/kg body weight every 24 h for 3 days showed a better clinical response than 6.6 µg of oxytetracycline, 2.5 µg of tulathromycin, the placebo and 0.1 µg of ceftiofur sodium. The results show the best efficacy for 6.6 µg of oxytetracycline and 1.0 µg of ceftiofur sodium. Nevertheless, the latter is likely to be superior to oxytetracycline in terms of its pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties. Thus, 1.0 µg of ceftiofur sodium appears to provide the best therapeutic activity against IN in cattle. Further well-designed studies are required.
