Disseminating Innovative Solutions for Antibiotic Resistance Management (DISARM) Source of funding Horizon 2020 Scientific leader Baiba Rivža Project website https://disarmproject.eu/ Duration 2019-2021 Budget 78 850 EUR Project description The DISARM thematic network is focused on disseminating best practices from innovative farms and research on how to reduce antibiotic resistance in livestock farming. Antibiotic resistance management is not only important to farming, it can also lead to reduced effectiveness of antibiotics in treating humans. Tackling antibiotic resistance is a major strategic challenge for European livestock farmers, an industry worth over 145billion euros. Disseminating these effective management practices is at the heart of the DISARM project, which will work with farmers, vets, advisors, industry and researchers to identify and disseminate widely the most cost effective and beneficial strategies.The network will focus on pigs, poultry for meat production, intensive dairy production and the grazing sector (dairy, beef and sheep).
