CDFA AUS Releases 2024 Annual Report
The Antimicrobial Use and Stewardship (AUS) program is excited to announce the release of its sixth Annual Report. The AUS program is CDFA’s comprehensive antibiotic stewardship and monitoring program, established to fulfill the mandates of California law, Livestock: Use of Antimicrobial Drugs (FAC Sections 14400 – 14408).
The AUS 2024 Annual Report focuses on the 2023– 2024 fiscal year, spanning July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024. This report provides a description of AUS activities during this time, including updates from the following program focus areas:
-
Program Products: What materials and information have we produced?
-
Animal Management Strategies: What health promotion and infection prevention practices can be used or further developed in California to combat antimicrobial resistance and optimize antibiotic usage?
-
Antibiotic Sales & Use: Which antibiotics are sold and how are they used in California?
-
Antibiotic Resistance: How are we looking at trends in antibiotic resistance?
-
Communication & Engagement: How are we reaching people and improving our outreach efforts?
-
AUS-Funded Research Publications & Presentations: How are our researchers building on current scientific knowledge?
-
Looking Ahead: What’s next?
The body of the report describes AUS’ approach to the above topics and related highlights of AUS’ work and accomplishments. The appendix summaries at the end of the report offer additional information on projects new for the fiscal year. Overall, the body of the report and the appendix summaries provide updates on the program’s progress during the fiscal year and do not represent final or comprehensive reports or findings for AUS’ studies.
The AUS program is excited to share its progress, all of which is possible due to engagement from our many stakeholder groups. We would like to thank everyone who contributes to our activities – your guidance and feedback at all stages of our work, including research, outreach, and education efforts, is crucial to AUS’ success. This includes organizations and groups who support our implementation and vision, as well as livestock owners who participate in our studies and researchers who share their expertise. We thank you for your contributions thus far and look forward to your continued engagement!
