Due to population density, limited research & diagnostic facilities, and haphazard antimicrobial use, Bangladesh faces a high risk of health and economic burdens from AMR in livestock and aquaculture. Problem Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and dairying: Overuse, misuse, irrational use of antibiotics in dairying contributes to AMR, but the environmental issues and linkages of AMR with methane emissions remain unexplored in Bangladesh.
