  • The Medicine Hub, industry-led and developed by AHDB, plans to address the lack of evidence of responsible use by collation of national-level data for dairy, beef and sheep farmers. Offering farm-to-fork support, it offers a safe, secure and independent central way to collate, report and compare antibiotic data from a variety of sources, including on-farm farm use and datasets from vets and processors.
