Relationship between biosecurity status, production parameters, herd characteristics and antimicrobial usage in farrow-to-finish pig herds
This study aimed at assessing possible associations between the biosecurity level, antimicrobial usage and farm and production characteristics in order to advice on best practices for a low antimicrobial usage and maximum animal health and production.
