The spread of antibiotic resistance has become a major public health problem. Dryers are antibiotic-containing drugs that are used in milk production to dry off dairy cows, i.e. to switch them to the non-lactating phase. The selective drying-off of dairy cows means that not all cows are systematically dried off with antibiotics, but only cows with health problems. Selective drying off therefore makes a significant contribution to reducing the use of antimicrobials in milk production (according to estimates: 50% of cows could be dried off without antibiotics).
