Canadian Dairy Network of Antimicrobial Stewardship and Resistance (CaDNetASR)

Antimicrobial use data is collected annually on 150 dairy farms across Canada. On each farm, manure and bulk tank milk samples are taken and tested for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) levels. This data is used to assess the impact of AMR on animal health and animal welfare indicators, as well as trends in AMR of selected pathogens on dairy farms. Canadian Dairy Network of Antimicrobial Stewardship and Resistance (CaDNetASR) is a collaboration between Canada’s five veterinary colleges (Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Calgary; Western Canadian Veterinary College, University of Saskatchewan; Faculté De Médicine Vétérinaire, Université de Montréal; Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph; Atlantic Veterinary College, University of Prince Edward Island) and the Canadian Integrated Program for Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance (CIPARS).
