“The continuous rise of antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli infections has had strong negative impacts on the general health and safety of animals within the poultry industry. In this context, FÓRMIDA aims to improve the general health of animals by reducing the infections caused by Escherichia coli, especially antibiotic-resistant E.coli.”
