Cephalosporins should be used only as a last resort treatment option on an individual basis, and then guided by knowledge of the actual MIC.

At the same time, regular monitoring of the sensitiv-ity/resistance of pathogens circulating on farm level is very impor-tant for monitoring resistance development and the prudent use of antibiotics.
