This training was then designed to addresssome of the gaps identified in the baseline survey done by VSFG (2020). Theintervention seeks to boost knowledge in poultry health dynamics and AMRcontrol thus slow down agricultural practices linked with AMR emergence andspread.Training frame workIn figure 1, the process of developing the trainers’ manual has been customizedto 4 stages. The developed content looks at 1) Understanding Antimicrobialresistance, 2) Principles of Infection Prevention and Control in poultryproduction. Frontline animal health service providers (Trainers) from Wakiso andSoroti will be equipped to re-tool other actors (majorly farmers).Corresponding author: Arshnee MoodleyA.Moodley@cgiar.org ILRI c/o Bioversity International P.O.

Understanding Antimicrobial resistanceThe content explains to a lay man the definitions related to AMR, overview of antimicrobials, the burden of the problem, who is at risk, emergence and spread and actions to reverse this problem2. Principles of infection prevention and control in poultry productionAMR occurs when microbes adapt &become less tolerant to medicinesThe content explains aspects related to poultry management such as husbandry (nutrition, housing), biosecurity, vaccination programmes, diseases and health care management (use of diagnostics and antibiotics) On farm biosecurity practiced by a visitor at one of the poultry farms we visited in Wakiso
