Antibiotic use in livestock in Europe
Antibiotics are used in livestock for animal health and productivity, but also pose a risk for antibiotic resistance in both humans and livestock. Data is measured as themilligrams of total antibiotic use per kilogram of meat production. This is corrected for differences in livestock numbers and types, normalising to a population-correctedunit (PCU). A suggested global cap of antibiotic use in livestock is set at 50mg/PCU.
