Exploring the Potential for a Public-Private Partnership to Support the Tracking and Monitoring of Antimicrobial Use in Food-Producing Animals
Virtual Public Forum
Tuesday, June 14, 2022
1-3pm Eastern Time
Through a cooperative agreement with the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) we've been exploring the development of a public-private partnership for collecting and analyzing real-world data regarding antimicrobial use (AMU) in food-producing animals. Over the last several months, we have convened and facilitated a series of working sessions with stakeholders to gather input on the benefits, costs, and challenges of creating and maintaining a voluntary AMU data repository that could enhance understanding of how antimicrobials are used in animals and support antimicrobial stewardship. These discussions with stakeholders from animal agriculture, veterinary, public health organizations, and other key representatives were summarized in a report entitled, “Exploring the Potential for A Public-Private Partnership to Support the Tracking and Monitoring of Antimicrobial Use in Food-Producing Animals.”
We held a virtual public forum on June 14, 2022 to discuss the value of establishing a public-private partnership to collect and analyze antimicrobial use data from food-producing animals. Watch the event below.
After facilitating this initial discussion, the FDA Foundation worked with relevant stakeholders to summarize the meeting, highlighting consensus points and key themes.
The FDA Foundation will use these themes to inform the principles for a potential public-private partnership.
