The Antibiotic Guardian Awards, now in its fourth year, recognises and champions organisations and individuals who have demonstrated achievement in tackling antimicrobial resistance at a local, regional or national level. 210 healthcare, veterinary, academic and government professionals attended last night’s prestigious event hosted by Public Health England where 52 shortlisted nominees represented their entries across 11 award categories.

Their winning project The Antibiotic Monitoring and Reduction Programme – a cross industry project to drive down antibiotic usage in dairy cattle in the UK, was selected by a panel of judges from a shortlist of 6 entries.

In the same category ForFarmers were highly commended and Pruex Ltd were commended.

Claire Hughes, Head of Corporate Affairs at AB Agri commented “We are delighted to be involved with this event. The awards acknowledge and celebrate the important work and achievements being made to combat antimicrobial resistance across the world, in both human and animal health sectors. It is great to see the range of initiatives being developed and we heartily congratulate the winners on their success last night and all the entrants for their efforts and contributions to this issue.

“Tackling antimicrobial resistance is a priority that AB Agri* actively supports.

This approach combined with our products contribute to strategies arising from the challenges created by the reduction and eventual removal of antibiotics.”
