Organizational Setting

The Myanmar Livestock Breeding and Veterinary Department (LBVD) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Irrigation (MoALI) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) are initiating the project “Antimicrobial monitoring in poultry in Myanmar (AM-PM)” with funding from the UK Government’s Fleming Fund.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is recognized as a problem caused by unregulated antimicrobial use in the human health and animal health and production sectors, which exerts selection pressure on pathogen populations and encourages the development of resistance. Use of antimicrobials in the livestock production industry for therapeutic, preventative, and growth promotion purposes across Asia is widespread, particularly in the pig and poultry production sectors. At present, farm antimicrobial use (AMU) is poorly understood in Myanmar and there is no systematic, regular AMR surveillance in the livestock sector. The ‘AM-PM’ project aims to contribute to the overall goal of a world in which effective antimicrobials will be preserved for the future to combat bacterial infections, thus, helping to mitigate this slow-onset disaster. It will contribute to this goal by improving AMU practices in the Myanmar poultry production sector.
