A combination of closed\u2010ended questions and free\u2010text responses were used to obtain perspectives, priorities and antimicrobial prescribing behaviours of equine veterinarians in Australia. Descriptive statistics were computed, with percentages reported as the proportion of respondents answering each question.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There were 103 responses, 85 of which were complete, from equine veterinarians across a broad range of sectors and levels of experience. Results indicate that equine veterinarians are overwhelmingly in favour of adopting AMS programs that have been developed for equine practice. Respondents consider unnecessary antimicrobial use and use of high importance antimicrobials when lower importance alternatives may be equally effective\u00a0to be key\u00a0targets. Mixed practice veterinarians showed an interest in client\u2010facing resources, particularly those addressing wound management and reproduction. There was a lack of consensus among participants regarding when to stop antimicrobials in the treatment of equine pneumonia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Main Limitations<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The sample size of this study was small, consequently, the study was underpowered for formal inferential comparisons between subgroups.
