Addressing Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)
While Skretting recommends a holistic approach to fish and shrimp health, whereby prevention through farming best-practices is better than cure, it’s important to highlight that despite all the preventative measures aimed at reducing disease risks, aquatic species still face various health challenges. In these instances, medicated feeds remain the least invasive method of administering antibiotics, facilitating an effective treatment of these animals in a controlled, safe, and welfare-friendly manner.
All our medicated feed sales are based on a veterinary prescription with a valid clinical diagnostic, and are produced under controlled, high-quality conditions in separate production lines to avoid the risk of contaminating standard feed. The use of medicines in aquaculture is subject to specific laws and regulation, which Skretting strictly follows.
