Antibiotic use in equine practice (2023)

Antibiotic resistance is one of the most serious public health threats we face today. In equine practice, limited antibiotic options increase pressure to use critically important agents. With growing awareness around antimicrobial stewardship, it’s vital to understand when, why, and how much we’re using.

Join our upcoming webinar to explore antibiotic use in horses, with a focus on perioperative protocols and total antibiotic consumption in equine settings. We’ll also discuss cefazolin—an older antibiotic recently reintroduced, offering a safer alternative for stewardship compared to ceftiofur or enrofloxacin.

Let’s make informed choices and protect both animal and human health.
