Future initiatives to lower antimicrobial use

Policies and initiatives to decrease antimicrobial use are constantly evolving. In Denmark, discovery of new resistance patterns, disease outbreaks, stakeholder opinions, and changes in public awareness or political focus drive the development of new initiatives. In 2017, as part of a broad political agreement between all the parties in parliament, it was decided to set up an Advisory Committee on Veterinary Medicines, establish new national targets for antimicrobial use and reduction, and highlight champion farms. This impartial Committee initiated its work in the autumn of 2018.
