One Health: Patient And Environmental Impacts Of Prescribing Antibiotics - Ian Battersby & Margo Mosher | VETchat by The Webinar Vet

Joining Anthony for this episode of VETchat are Ian Battersby, Responsible Pharmaceutical Stewardship Lead for Mars Veterinary Health and Margo Mosher, Global Sustainability Director for Mars Veterinary Health.

In this episode, Anthony, Ian and Margo discuss antibiotic stewardship. They talk about how the entire lifecycle of antibiotics has an environmental impact and how managing their production and use is essential. They also discuss when we should be prescribing antibiotics, whether we should be shortening the course lengths, and the one health aspect of the issue. Moreover, Ian and Margo explain what research MARS Veterinary Health is doing in their practices to help with antibiotic stewardship knowledge.
