Full Press Release Details
WASHINGTON , Sept. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- As members of the global animal protein community, we support the United Nations efforts to combat antimicrobial resistance as part of our efforts to produce a safe, sustainable food supply. We'll each do our part to help maintain antibiotics' long-term effectiveness to ensure the health of people, animals and the planet. We have identified the following priorities for the industry to focus on:
We recognize the importance of healthy animals and their impact on human health and the health of the environment, as well as their role in meeting the expected 60 percent increase in protein demand. Healthy animals mitigate antimicrobial resistance potential and reduce disease spread. Healthy animals have a better quality of life and fulfill the growing need for meat, milk and eggs to nourish the increasing global population. Healthy animals use resources more efficiently, lessening our environmental footprint.
We will work across the global protein food chain and the health systems to address this critical societal need, using a balanced, One Health approach to protect the health of animals, people and the planet.
