Can someone provide more details – why some countries use more antibiotics in livestock than others? Is that related to raising, different species, climate or different industry standards?
Oh jesus. Just adjusted the map to show the whole world and China’s goin nuts
Yepp, this is a huge part on why antibiotic resistance in bacteria is so much of an issue these days. Focus has been a lot on doctors overprescribing, but overall, the meat industry is a much bigger factor in this.
And if we keep going at it like this, then soon bacteria will be immune to antibiotics and we’ll have a major health crisis.
first and 3rd blue colour need to switch for clarity
Yeah there have been huge changes in northwest Europe in the last 10/15 years.
Of course laws have changed in certian countries, but also overall looking into the animal health more and extremely in-depth.
I work as a young stock advisor(Netherlands), and I see that antibiotics in calves until 1 year old, are almost not used at all. And instead of using antibiotics, more and more farmers go to prevention by for example vaccines.
Also, my job baiscally didn’t exist 15 years ago, as the knowledge and importance about calves was not there, however with all the knowledge about these animals, it makes it extremely innovative, which is not only good for animal health and antibiotic usage, but also for the environment as well.
And then they cry when antibiotic resistant bacteries explode.
do the antibiotics make meat less safe for consumption? (or more?)
Now do Mercosour countries 🙂

I thought Italy was in a better position
I’m shocked that much of Europe is higher than the US.
I’m shocked the US number is so low. There is always so much talk about how shitty food regulations are in the States and yet their numbers are much lower than many parts of Europe and Canada.
With all love and warmness towards Lithuania, I can’t believe they’re using less antibiotics than us, Latvia. Simply because it’s a bigger industry, cheaper meat (chicken and beef), etc. The bigger the industry – the more gimmicks it uses to optimize the production flow.
But okay, I’m not a specialist nor having metrics “on paper”. Still glad we both are in less-antibiotics bar. Food quality in Baltics and Nordics is superior to the rest of EU.
Well, bullish on antibiotic resistance.
It is not about preventing illness.
Antibiotics help animals to grow mass.
Nobody knows exactly why, but it works.
For anything, from chicken to salmon.
How long since we all start dying of flu again?
I’d love to see this compared to a US chart.
If giving medication to animal. You cannot slaughter until all medication is out. There’s a withdrawal period on all bottles of medication. Penicillin is usually 7 days,
Dexamethasone 4 days. All are different for different animals. Slaughterhouses test for medication in carcass.
Eastern Europe as usual… obsessed with antibiotics. Got a viral infection? Take antibiotics just in case because my aunt said it helped her so for sure big pharma doesnt want you to know something…
Jesus christ people, can we stop overusing antibiotics in general. I don’t want to die from bacterial pneumonia or the fucking plague just because of motherfuckers slurping antibiotics everytime they have a runny nose.
I thought it was banned in EU….
Edit: It is… “In 2022, new EU legislation will prohibit all forms of routine antibiotic use in farming, including preventative group treatments.”

In Cyprus the meat is made of antibiotics what?
