dc.description.abstractThe improper use of antibiotics in dairy farming contributes significantly to the development of antibiotic resistance (AMR), posing a global public health risk. Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) in dairy production can reduce the spread of AMR. Smallholder dairy farmers (SHDFs) in low- and middle income countries (LMICs) are particularly critical stakeholders in this context, given their significant contribution to the dairy sector. Consequently, AMS in dairy production can reduce the spread of AMR. This study aimed to examine the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to antibiotic use (AMU) and AMR among SHDFs in selected districts of Zambia to guide AMS interventions in the given contexts.
