Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotic Resistance is a growing topic of concern among us all. We
recognize that human and animal health must work together to understand
and combat Antibiotic Resistance. Launched in 2017, PIPESTONE Antibiotic
Resistance Tracker (PART) was launched to track antibiotic use in real time.
PART provides livestock farmers a web-based tool to do their PART in the
fight against Antibiotic Resistance by exhibiting and monitoring antibiotic use in accordance with their
veterinarian. PART now offers a producer data-entry portal.
PART allows producers to Record, Review, and Respond for the Responsible Use of Antibiotics.

Today, PART
supports 190
producers, 10.7

hogs & 14.5 million
