This is a three year PhD which is part of a collaboration between Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) and Cranswick. To date there have been relatively few studies, in the pork sector that have investigated the Behaviour relating to animals and Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). There is an urgent need to understand the use of antibiotics in pork, including the relationship with human health and wellbeing.
