Animal health & Antibiotics network

21-06-2022

ROADMAP project takes over the DISARM Community of Practice group on Facebook, now with a new name:

"Animal Health & Antibiotics Network"

We will continue to grow this network to link together farmers, veterinarians, advisors, industry members and researchers to promote best practice strategies to reduce antibiotic resistance in livestock farming.

For this reason, ROADMAP Stakeholder Community on Facebook will be inactive.

Join us on our journey!

As ROADMAP project, we are pleased to announce to be part of the AMR Stakeholder Network. This organization brings together more than 60 leading organisations and individuals committed to tackling Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) at the national, regional, and European level, covering all dimensions of the ‘One Health’ approach from the World Health Organization.
ROADMAP’s project coordinator Nicolas Fortané attended AMR Stakeholder Network’s meeting on 18 January 2022 and he presented ROADMAP project to AMR Stakeholder Network members:

“ROADMAP will contribute to the fight against AMR arising from farmed animal production and a global reduction of AMU and its impact on the environment, animal health and public health”.

We are happy to be a member of this powerful network and we look forward to working together with AMR Stakeholder Network members.

ROADMAP ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

09-03-2022

We would like to thank everyone who participated in our 3rd Annual General Meeting. The meeting was online due to Covid-19.
At the 3rd ROADMAP Annual General Meeting, project participants, including the Stakeholders Advisory Board members, were actively engaged in discussing the main objective and activities of the case studies in each country! The discussions were very fruitful and inspiring.

Example of a Message House

Furthermore, we spent time on building “message houses” that focused on the case studies of each country. The aim with the message houses was to explore and reflect whilst building effective communication. During the session, the participants were divided into different breakout rooms according to their country. Afterwards everyone presented their work for each other.

We truly hope we can meet again in person next year! It has been too long now.

surveys ready for veterinarians and farmers

18-01-2022

ROADMAP surveys are now online and available in different languages! These surveys are carried out at various European research institutes. The surveys target farmers and veterinarians involved in the animal production. The aim of these surveys is to better understand animal health practices and identify transition pathways towards prudent use of antibiotics in the livestock sector.

If you are a veterinarian or a farmer, you are invited to share your experience by joining our surveys here. You will thus contribute to the reflection and communication on your profession at an international level.

POdcast news: The medical arms race: overcoming microbial resistance

14-12-2021

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a complex problem affecting human, animal, plant and environmental health. Antimicrobials play a critical role in farming: resistant microorganisms can develop in our food chain, moving between animals, humans and environments. Disturbing when you consider the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates global use of antimicrobials in the livestock sector alone will rise by 67 % by 2030 to 105 596 tons (Source).

Our Project Coordinator Nicolas Fortané was taking a key part in the discussion about antimicrobial resistance. Tune in and listen to his reflections starting from 35:45.
