Kritische Succesfactoren Vleeskalveren (BO-20-016-020)

This project explores obstacles and barriers on veal calf farms with a high antibiotics use that impede the desired reduction, triggers and success factors to realise a low use of antibiotics on-farm and, through pilots with livestock farmers and farm advisors, to identify and test effective improvement measures that lead to substantial reduction in antibiotic use. The result should be a knowledge impulse for farmers with high antibiotics use towards substantial reduction. It also provides recommendations for policy makers (government, sectors) to support the desired transitions.
