This is always an inspiring conference to attend.  This year the Whole Health Agriculture give a presentation: “Reducing antibiotic and anthelmintic use through homeopathy, herbs and medicinal plants on livestock farms in the UK”

Alternative and traditional methods based on farmers’ observations, knowledge and wisdom are having massive success in significantly reducing anthelmintic and antibiotic use on UK farms. The results of a Whole Health Agriculture (WHAg) survey of over 220 livestock farmers will be presented in this session. It shows that homeopathy, herbal treatments and a range of complementary and alternative methods (CAMs) is achieving up to 69% reduction in antibiotic use, up to 70% reduction in vet costs, significant reduction in disease frequency and severity and massive improvement in livestock health

Following an overview, this session will look at the top three methods considered to be most efficacious by surveyed farmers: nosodes and homeopathic remedies, herbs and medicinal plants, and essential/plant- derived oils.The practical details behind the results will be explained, and discussion will be informed by "the voices of the farmers" whose wisdom and experience has been ignored for too long.
