Abstract：
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in livestock is a complicated and multi-sectoral risk that threatens public health in the interactions between humans, animals, and environment. Through their increased awareness of AMR issues, consumers can make a significant impact on regulations and strategies to reduce or eliminate the use of antimicrobials use. This study aims to provide evidence-based data for promoting the prudent use of antimicrobials (PUA) in the livestock industry to reduce the risk of AMR and increase animal welfare by identifying consumers\' intentions to support PUA practices in livestock farming. An online survey was conducted on 1000 respondents in South Korea to examine their intention to pay more for PUA practices in livestock farming at state and individual levels against their pro-animal attitude, risk perception of antimicrobial overuse, trust in antimicrobial overuse control, and perceived value of PUA practices. The survey data was analyzed using multiple linear regression to identify the determinants of Korean consumers\' support for PUA practices. Approximately 86.3% of the respondents supported government-level spending for PUA in livestock farming, and the same portion of respondents intended to pay more for livestock products that complied with the PUA principle. The four attitudinal variables-pro-animal attitude, consumers\' risk perception, trust in antimicrobial resistance control, and perceived value of PUA-positively affected both state- and individual-level support. Overall, our findings highlight the Korean consumers\' demand for reducing the risk of AMR and their perceived universal value of PUA for humans and animals.
摘要：
家畜的抗菌素耐药性(AMR)是一种复杂的多部门风险，在人与人之间的相互作用中威胁着公众健康。动物,和环境。通过提高对AMR问题的认识，消费者可以对减少或消除抗菌药物使用的法规和策略产生重大影响。本研究旨在为促进畜牧业谨慎使用抗菌药物（PUA）提供基于证据的数据，以通过确定消费者支持PUA在畜牧业中的做法的意图来降低AMR的风险并增加动物福利。对韩国的1000名受访者进行了一项在线调查，以检查他们是否打算在州和个人层面为畜牧业的PUA做法支付更多费用，以反对他们的亲动物态度。抗菌药物过度使用的风险感知，对抗菌药物过度使用控制的信任，和PUA实践的感知价值。使用多元线性回归分析调查数据，以确定韩国消费者对PUA实践的支持的决定因素。大约86.3%的受访者支持政府在畜牧业方面的PUA支出，同样部分的受访者打算为符合PUA原则的畜产品支付更多费用。四个态度变量-亲动物态度，消费者的风险感知，信任抗菌素耐药性控制，PUA的感知价值对国家和个人层面的支持都有积极影响。总的来说,我们的研究结果强调了韩国消费者对降低AMR风险的需求，以及他们认为PUA对人类和动物的普遍价值。
