Abstract
The use of antimicrobials in food producing animals receives much attention and is highlighted as a focus in the efforts against antimicrobial resistance documented in the O'Neil report (2015) , with DEFRA committing to a <50 mg/kg antimicrobial usage across farmed species. Veterinary surgeons must work with their clients to achieve this aim in such a way that does not compromise animal health or productivity. The control and treatment of mastitis is one of the most common reasons for antimicrobial use on UK dairy farms and offers an opportunity for veterinary surgeons to engage in both reducing and rationalising use of antimicrobials in dairy cattle.
