Sekondi-takoradi: The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has recently concluded an eight-week training program for broiler poultry farmers in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis and Effia-Kwesimintsim Municipality, focusing on the prudent use of anti-microbials and the control of antimicrobial resistance. The training aimed to instill sustainable practices and behavioral changes among farmers to reduce reliance on antibiotics in poultry production. According to Ghana News Agency, the training was part of the FAO's Farmer Field School (FFS) project, which collaborates with the Veterinary Services Department. The program educated thirty farmers from each municipality on the production cycle, proper biosecurity, and safety practices. The initiative also demonstrated the benefits of reducing antibiotic use through practical experiments with broiler chicks, highlighting the advantages of non-antibiotic raised chicks in terms of growth and overall health. Mr. Bright Adu-Mensah, Facilitator of the FOA FFS, emphas ized the importance of the training, noting that the project's core goal is to shift farmers' attitudes towards more sustainable and responsible farming methods. He shared insights from a test conducted during the training, where farmers observed significant differences in growth between chicks raised with and without antibiotics. The FAO's efforts are driven by the broader implications of antimicrobial use, which not only affect animal health but also have environmental and human health repercussions. Mr. Daniel Lamptey, the Metropolitan Environmental Health Officer, highlighted the environmental impact of poultry farming and praised the move towards organic practices. He encouraged farmers to apply their new knowledge to minimize the environmental footprint of their operations. Feedback from participants has been overwhelmingly positive. Mr. Francis Nsiah, Western Regional Vice Chair of the Poultry Farmers Association, acknowledged the economic benefits of the training, pointing out the potential cost sav ings in reducing drug purchases. Madam Augustina Koomson, a training beneficiary, expressed her gratitude towards the FAO and shared how the training transformed her approach to poultry farming, leading to improved production efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This initiative by the FAO not only aims to enhance poultry farm sustainability but also contributes to global efforts in combating antimicrobial resistance, a growing concern in both agricultural and human healthcare sectors.
