In addition, to prevent infections, they propose improving biosecurity on farms, animal welfare, and safe practices of production and processing of livestock However, all of this is easier said than done The WHO’s recommendations require the cooperation of governments and farmers from across the world who may rely on the present use of antibiotics to sustain profit.
