 Like in many other countries, the poultry sector in Uganda is hampered by a number of challenges which are but not limited to the emerging threat of antimicrobial resistance. Currently it is not clear how many animals die each year due to drug resistant infections but globally 700,000 people or more die and by 2050 it is estimated that the deaths could grow to 10 million people. Everyone is at risk because no country with stringent border control and security measures can fully control entry of a resistant jam into a new community. The jams can be carried on our hands, on our clothes, on my travel bags or any contaminated surfaces. Antimicrobial resistance occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread. The value chain mapping shows a number of actors from the hatcheries to the point of poultry product retail. These players are key in the battle to contain the effects of antimicrobial resistance. The worrying drift reported by many farmers and more health practitioners and policy makers is currently influenced by the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices, ultimately driving the development and spread of the resistance. The challenge we face, some of them, they come in with their prior knowledge uncertain over their treating, they only come and tell you, I want 10 percent. Last time I used it on this and this and it worked on me. I think give me the veracin. He's not taking a hint of what is on with the animal and so on. But because he knows that drug specifically could have helped him some time back or surveyed or when he used he assumes in every situation the same drug is going to work on him. They addicted to some brands. The International Livestock Research Institute is leading a consortium of implementing partners including Veterinaris Sands Frontiers Jaman, the Ministry of Agriculture and Mall Industry and Fisheries. Central to this cause is a remarkable investment in Uganda's livestock sector, an initiative guided by the BMZ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Our interventions in Uganda are guided by the Global and National Action Plan for AMR. This includes increasing resources in the fight against antimicrobial resistance. In 2019 Uganda received a five-year funding from the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development also known as BMZ to implement a program under the theme boosting Uganda's investments in livestock development. The program has a component on control of antimicrobial resistance along the poultry value chain which seeks to understand the knowledge attitudes and practices and incentives for antimicrobial usage in the poultry value chains of Uganda and the program will also research on antimicrobial resistance transmission dynamics at the human animal environment interface. This information is important and the data to design and evaluate interventions to reduce antimicrobial use or consumption in poultry value chains in Uganda and also support evidence-based policy dialogue and also build capacity in value chain actors, implementers and researchers. Miss Grace, a team like many farmers, has hands-on experience in managing a poultry farm. For example, when her buds manifest clinical signs like kuf deoria, she administers the drugs on her own. Mwata, again another day you find that this drug is already diluted. The antibiotics are really helped but sometimes it don't work because my idea reasoning would be the wrong description because you are the farm, you come to it with the vet, you down and you say ABCD has happened and then in that process she would give you what she thinks, her prescription would be what she would imagine and think based on the circumstance. On Mr. Moses' Etonu's farm, you find roaming ducks, rabbits, a pig, zero grazing cows and pigeons. The open nature of his farm creates a challenge for him to implement strict biosecurity measures. Infections can potentially emerge from any of the livestock on his farm. He suspects that veterinary business has attracted some counterfeits and falsely labeled drugs imported secretly and resold through a network of companies to farmers. There are very many drugs in the market but other drugs are not whatever and are not giving us good results. I think why some drugs are not working is because I think there is a way these drugs sneak in or they come in original whatever then it is repacked so that when it reaches down here it's only when you see the paper what but when you use it you don't get the results. The use of antibiotics particularly in disease management has spectacular gains on production allowing the industry to cope with the increase in consumer demands. However, lack of access to quality and affordable medicines, vaccines and lack of diagnostics is hurting farmers. Another common bad advice done is blind treatment which depicts minimal adoption of diagnostics. Mixing many types of drugs has caused drug resistance in chickens. The other cause for antimicrobial resistance in birds we think is some farmers disregarding drug storage conditions. We intend to buy the package. It buys 100 grams and wants to supply 100,000 bads. So to me I think there is a lot of underdose when we are applying and we are doing it as farmers. Besides that, poultry markets in Uganda are potential hotspots for the spread of the resistant organisms because they are informal with no established quality control measures. We buy them from village markets and bring them to town markets. Sometimes there are signs and symptoms that sick birds can present. We give them some local herbs because if you treat them using drugs it will affect the consumer's health. Many farmers treat the chicken continuously even when they are about to lay eggs this affects the quality of the eggs. The market poultry business comes with issues of waste disposal and other potential source of disease spread. Sometimes this ends up on people's farms as manure. Uganda's AMR National Action Plan is already on track. The BUILD AMR team have already conducted a national capacity needs assessment conducted the AMR stakeholder mapping, studies on antimicrobio use, residues and transmission pathways have already been conceptualized and are ready for implementation. But what are the views of some stakeholders in the value chain? At my best advice is you at least get half of the tenare doctor who keeps checking on you and keeps guiding you because they have the professional skill, they have the knowledge in the types of medicines that you need to feed the birds. From day one, there is a chart that we follow. We begin giving them those vaccinations. What we have learnt with poultry, especially this type of oas, when you really just follow the schedules to vaccinate the various diseases, malix, gombolo, nyukaso, typhoid, foalpox, when you vaccinate according to the schedule you normally don't get those outbreaks. In the last five years, I must tell you, I have not had nyukaso for example. When the birds are well-fed, they are also not very much susceptible to diseases. The wickedness they have, they always wait up to that season around November when they start dying or they see if a neighbor dying, that is when they are running. At all places, my birds have this and that you get and yet in actual sense, we do encourage them that these are things you have to start early enough now that you have that pre-analeg life around these seasons, we tend to have that onset. Why don't we try to be timely around July, such moments, vaccinate your birds when the time you reach such seasons you are safe and if you have taken these advices. Government should intervene and enforce quality standards. It is the responsibility of government to tame and scrupulous people. Antmikrobio resistance requires urgent multi-sektro collaborative action to implement already identified contra-intervations, such as awareness and education, surveillance and research to monitor and track changes in anti-biograms and antimikrobio use, rational drug use and embracing infection prevention and control, discovery of better drugs, diagnostic tools and vaccines.
