Conference
Reducing antimicrobial use in European Livestock production
We would like to invite you to our conference where leading scientists and practitioners talk about one of the most pressing, but underexposed topics in livestock farming; antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
In half a day we will bring you up to speed about the current state of events, best practices in the field and what’s coming in the future.
