Responsible use of antibiotics safeguards the health of humans and animals as well as the future of medicine.

In my latest article on over-the-counter use of antibiotics in fish (& other aquatic animals), I highlight the risks & explore market drivers.

Further research is indeed necessary to better understand the illegal trade of antibiotics across multiple species, so that optimal approaches can be used for effective intervention.

Attention all African shrimp farmers :
As many of you know and have experienced the effect and cost of disease on your farms. The best way to address disease outbreaks is to prevent them.

If you will be interested in possibly participating in a project I will be starting soon on African shrimp farms, please assist me by completing a pre-project survey (https://lnkd.in/dDX3NpUW).

This is open to all farms irrespective of how long you have been in operation. This could be an opportunity to improve, add value or develop your on farm biosecurity to protect and promote healthy stock. Furthermore, this will add great value to current knowledge on shrimp biosecurity on African farms. Your assistance and time (~5-7 minutes) to complete this short survey will be greatly appreciated.

Please forward this on to other shrimp farmers that may be interested.
The deadline for completion of this survey is 23 August 2023, 10h00 (SAST).
