In November, 2017, WHO published new guidelines on the use of antibiotics in animals farmed for food. The document urged member states to reduce animal consumption of all classes of antibiotics vital for human health and reiterated WHO's long-standing view that antibiotics should never be used as growth promoters. One key recommendation concerned the use of antibiotics for prophylactic purposes. “Healthy animals should only receive antibiotics to prevent disease if it has been diagnosed in other animals in the same flock, herd, or fish population”, stressed WHO.

解决食品生产动物的抗药性

2017年11月，世卫组织发布了有关在以食物为食的动物中使用抗生素的新指南。该文件敦促会员国减少动物食用对人类健康至关重要的所有种类的抗生素，并重申了世界卫生组织长期以来的观点，即永远不应将抗生素用作生长促进剂。一项重要建议涉及为预防目的使用抗生素。世卫组织强调：“如果在同一群，同一群或同一鱼类种群的其他动物中诊断出健康的动物，则仅应使用抗生素预防疾病”。
