Job Position: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens global health, economic and food security with low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) being disproportionately affected. Antimicrobial misuse and overuse is the major driver of emergence and selection of antimicrobial resistant bacteria. Poultry production in Kenya is common and increasing in intensity. This intensification favours the increased use of antimicrobials for growth promotion, prophylaxis and treatment. Global, regional and national AMR plans have been developed and highlight numerous action areas to reduce AMR and preserve the efficacy of existing drugs and revolve around optimised or prudent use and prevent transmission. However, particularly in LMICs there is little to no information on the cost and/or effectiveness of the intervention to reduce antimicrobial use and the burden of AMR on farms. This PhD aims to address various knowledge gaps by 1) evaluating on-farm poultry production practices to determine behaviours that drive antimicrobial use (AMU) and how these contribute to the selection of AMR; and 2) design and test interventions to reduce AMU; and 3) analyse the costs and benefits of the tested interventions. To answer the various research questions, the candidate will utilise field epidemiology, statistical and economic modelling techniques.
