We conducted a study on agriculture related antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in developing countries. AMR
pathogens are commonly found in animals, animal food products and agro-food environments, but the lack
of surveillance systems means there are no reliable national data on the level of AMR in a...

Antimicrobial use in developing countries
Aflatoxins are a group of toxic metabolites produced by Aspergillus molds that contaminate a variety of food and animal feeds. Exposure to aflatoxins causes serious illness in humans, including liver cancer and stunting in children. When cows ingest aflatoxin-contaminated feed, they secrete aflat...

Aflatoxin M1 contamination of milk in the greater Addis Ababa milk shed, Ethiopia
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a highly toxic metabolite of Aspergillus fungi that contaminates animal feed. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) in the Greater Addis Ababa milk shed between September 2014 and February 2015. The objectives were to...

This short paper aims to identify key evidence gaps in our knowledge of livestock- and fisheries-linked antimicrobial resistance in the developing world, and to document on-going or planned research initiatives on this topic by key stakeholders.
The antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections in ani...

Review of evidence on antimicrobial resistance and animal agriculture in developing countries
Livestock as a sector is extremely important to the global economy and to rural livelihoods. As of 2013, there
was an estimated 38 billion livestock in the world, or five animals for every person. Most (81%) were in
developing countries. Around one billion smallholder farmers keep livestock, many...

Sharing lessons of smallholders’ pig system in South Asia and Southeast Asia: A review
According to the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report, changes in the climate over the last 30 years have already reduced global agricultural production by 1 – 5 % per decade relative to a baseline without climate change. In addition, recent studies indicate that even a 2 degrees increase in global tem...
