Antibiogram tests are important laboratory analyses carried out to determine the susceptibility and resistance of microorganisms isolated from bacterial infections in cattle and small ruminants to various antibiotics. These tests enable the scientific assessment of which antibiotics the bacteria causing the infection are susceptible to and to which they may be resistant.

In cattle and sheep farming operations, bacterial diseases can directly affect animal health, herd productivity and farm performance. Antibiogram tests help to identify the correct treatment option, thereby enabling the veterinary surgeon to develop a more effective and targeted treatment protocol.

These analyses are also of great importance in preventing the unnecessary or ineffective use of antibiotics. Through the responsible use of antibiotics, treatment success can be improved, the risk of resistance development can be reduced, and the protection of herd health can be more effectively supported.

Antibiogram tests provide a reliable and guiding analytical service for the management of bacterial infections in cattle and small ruminants, the selection of appropriate medication, and sustainable livestock farming practices.
