Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical global health threat, compromising the effectiveness of essential medicines and endangering food security, economic stability, environmental sustainability. The widespread misuse antibiotics in veterinary medicine, particularly intensive livestock production, has accelerated emergence spread resistant pathogens. While high-income countries have implemented regulatory measures to control antibiotic use, low- middle-income continue face challenges due weak frameworks, inadequate access diagnostics, limited availability alternative treatments. Addressing antimicrobial aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 3, which promotes good well-being, 12, emphasizes responsible consumption production. Main body Veterinary stewardship plays crucial role mitigating by promoting use companion animals without productivity. Successful interventions, such as Denmark’s “Yellow Card” scheme Netherlands’ targeted reduction programs, demonstrate how stringent regulations, improved treatment strategies can significantly reduce consumption. However, implementation remains difficult countries, where financial technical barriers limit enforcement surveillance efforts. One Health framework provides holistic strategy, integrating human, animal, address zoonotic transmission pathways reservoirs resistance. Expanding networks, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, investing research on alternatives—such vaccines, probiotics, phytochemicals—are for sustainable control. Conclusion integral combating achieving Goals 3 12. strengthens cross-sectoral ensuring that mitigation efforts account health. Moving forward, policy harmonization, increased funding strategies, capacity-building resource-limited settings are equitable interventions. Strengthening innovation diagnostics alternatives will be key safeguarding public preserving future generations.
