Abstract
Abstract Reducing the over‐use of preventative antibiotics in animal production to limit the spread of antimicrobial resistance is important for public health and animal health. We explore how supply chain relationships influence the incentives for beef farmers to engage in production practices, including antibiotic use, that are optimal from public and animal health perspectives. We examine the case of the French young bull sector, where animals are gathered, mixed, and transported over long distances, increasing the risk of developing the bovine respiratory disease (BRD). Interviews with economic actors in the French young bull sector reveal how transaction costs and patterns of vertical coordination influence the incidence of BRD and the preventative use of antibiotics. Dispersed supply chains with low levels of vertical coordination inhibit information flows about vaccination status and reduces incentives for cow‐calf producers to adopt optimal animal health management practices.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
