Antibiotic Used

Antibiotic use on our farms is rare and limited to isolated health issues. Antibiotics are administered by a qualified veterinary officer via medicated feed. Once a pen has been medicated, a withdrawal period is applied to that pen. We also attach an orange sign to any pens being treated as a means to notify other users of the waterway. Fish will not be harvested before the end of the withdrawal period.

Aligned with the GSI methodology, antibiotic use has been calculated as the proportion of fish that received treatment in the reporting period out of all our fish over that period.
