On-Farm Antimicrobial Usage Project
Latest Release

A special issue on antimicrobial use in U.S. animal agriculture has been released during the 2020 U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week in the journal Zoonoses and Public Health. This publication highlights the collaboration among academics, the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine, and U.S. food animal industries to develop pilot systems for collecting and analyzing antimicrobial use data from U.S. turkey, chicken, swine, beef feedlot and dairy production settings.
Mindwalk Consulting Group, LLC manages the collection of antimicrobial use data for the broiler chicken, turkey, layer chicken, and pig commodities. We collaborate with other groups on the collection of data for beef and dairy cattle.
