European Union and Vietnam: A joint path to poultry farming based on immunity and prevention

European Union: the responsible use of antibiotics The European Union bans the routine and preventive group use of antibiotics in food-producing animals. Antibiotics may be administered only on veterinary prescription, when medically justified to treat or control disease in animals. Treatment is carried out under strict veterinary supervision, observing the withdrawal period required to ensure that residues remain within the legal limits (MRLs). Prevention and welfare are a priority. In line with the Farm to Fork strategy, the EU aims to further reduce antimicrobial use while maintaining high food safety standards and full traceability.

The European Union bans the routine and preventive group use of antibiotics in food-producing animals. Antibiotics may be administered only on veterinary prescription, when medically justified to treat or control disease in animals. Treatment is carried out , observing the withdrawal period required to ensure that residues remain within the legal limits (MRLs).   . In line with the Farm to Fork strategy, the EU aims to further reduce antimicrobial use while maintaining high food safety standards and full traceability.

European poultry producers employ  such as strict on-farm biosecurity, vaccination programmes tailored to disease risk, daily flock-health monitoring, attention to water and feed quality, and comfortable housing conditions (ventilation, lighting, space). Medications remain a treatment tool — used  - to protect animal health and welfare. This approach promotes flock health, reduces the risk of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and strengthens consumer trust.

Thanks to these strict procedures, . This is ensured by EU and national laws that strictly control the use of veterinary medicines and the sale of meat.

European poultry batches are fully traceable and comply with Vietnam's MRLs and are accompanied by full documentation of origin and testing. For importers, retail chains and the HORECA sector, this means a stable supply, consistent quality and compliance with local regulations – both now and in the future, as the rules become more stringent.
