Ask what problem needs treatment
A rise in mortality or a drop in feed and water intake needs investigation, not an automatic repeat prescription. Bacterial, viral, environmental and nutritional problems can produce overlapping signs; antibiotics do not treat viruses. The veterinarian should assess the flock, its history and any available diagnostic results before deciding whether an antimicrobial is indicated.
Choose under veterinary direction
When treatment is appropriate, follow the veterinarian’s prescription and the applicable product label and local requirements. The choice, dose, route and duration depend on the diagnosis, the birds and the medicine. Laboratory culture and susceptibility testing can help where appropriate, especially when disease recurs or treatment fails. Do not change or extend treatment independently.
Protect food safety and keep records
Record the medicine, batch, amount, flock, dates, route, prescribing veterinarian and response. Observe the correct meat or egg withdrawal period as directed, and make sure everyone involved in marketing birds knows the earliest permitted date. Check water delivery and equipment so the prescribed treatment can reach the flock as intended.
Reduce the need for treatment
Review biosecurity, vaccination, water quality, ventilation, stocking and litter management with the farm team. Prevention does not replace prompt treatment when needed, but it can reduce avoidable disease pressure. WOAH’s guidance connects responsible antimicrobial use with animal welfare, food safety and limiting antimicrobial resistance.
