The Medicine Hub for dairy, beef and sheep farmers
An online tool to help dairy, beef and sheep producers monitor and compare medicine use and tackle the threat of antimicrobial resistance.
What is the Medicine Hub?
Medicine Hub provides a safe, secure and independent central repository to collate and report antibiotic data for UK dairy, beef and sheep farms.
Sharing data centrally demonstrates the industry's credentials to the public, the supply chain and to competitors and customers around the world.
Anonymised data will be treated confidentially and remains the property of the farmer.
The hub’s purpose is to provides evidence that the UK ruminant sectors are responsible users of antibiotics.
It supports regulatory reporting to:
- Veterinary Antimicrobial Resistance and Sales Surveillance (VARSS)
- Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD)
- Responsible use of Medicines in Agriculture Alliance (RUMA)
Targets for responsible antibiotic use
RUMA facilitates a Targets Task Force Group, comprising a vet and a farmer in each sector: beef, sheep and dairy.
