Declining trend in the use of antibiotics in fattening animals

Antibiotics are being used less and less in fattening animals. This is the result found by the report, “Treatment Frequency and Antibiotic Consumption Quantities 2018–2021: Trends in Cattle, Pigs, Chickens and Turkeys Kept for Meat Production,” by the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR). The BfR is tasked with evaluating the data on antibiotic use provided by the German federal states each year as well as with performing a risk assessment of antibiotic resistance.
