H & H Animal Health (Pvt.) Ltd.

Infection Control & Antimicrobial Stewardship

Advancing animal health through prevention, responsible antimicrobial use, evidence-based disease management, diagnostics, surveillance and One Health.

Our Stewardship Approach Scientific Leadership
Our Core Approach
Prevent Infection First Biosecurity, vaccination, hygiene, water quality and good farm management.
Diagnose Before Treating Clinical assessment, laboratory testing and susceptibility data whenever feasible.
Use Antimicrobials Responsibly Right drug, right indication, right dose, right duration and veterinary oversight.
Measure & Improve Surveillance, treatment records, AMR trends and continuous farm-level improvement.
Our Purpose

From treatment-focused care to prevention-focused animal health.

H & H Animal Health promotes practical infection prevention and antimicrobial stewardship for poultry and livestock systems. Our goal is to reduce disease pressure, improve treatment decisions, preserve antimicrobial effectiveness and support safer food production.

Responsible Use | Better Outcomes

H & H Antimicrobial Stewardship Framework

Antimicrobial stewardship is not simply about using fewer antibiotics. It is about preventing disease, making better treatment decisions and using antimicrobials only when they are justified and likely to provide clinical benefit.

1. Prevent

Reduce infection pressure through biosecurity, vaccination, nutrition and management.

2. Diagnose

Use clinical assessment and laboratory evidence to guide treatment decisions.

3. Target

Select the most appropriate antimicrobial based on veterinary judgment and susceptibility data.

4. Treat Responsibly

Use correct dose, route, duration and withdrawal period.

5. Review

Assess response, mortality, recurrence and need for treatment modification.

6. Record

Maintain treatment, disease, mortality and antimicrobial-use records.

7. Educate

Build awareness among farm teams and animal-health professionals.

8. Improve

Use surveillance and farm data to continually improve health outcomes.
