Technical Reference Document Listing Antimicrobial Agents of Veterinary Importance for Bovine Animals

The objective of this Technical Reference Document Listing Antimicrobial Agents of Veterinary Importance for Bovine Animals (hereafter, the Technical Reference Document) is to provide additional, species-specific information without serving as a treatment guideline. By identifying antimicrobial agents authorised for use in cattle and/or water buffaloes, the technical reference document can aid in evaluating accessibility to veterinary medicinal products needed to treat common infectious diseases in these species, contribute to the development and update of national treatment guidelines and essential medicines lists, inform stewardship programs, as well as risk management and prioritisation actions to minimise and contain antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
