Vasco Grilo🔸 comments on Do you think decreasing the consumption of animals is good/​bad? Think again?

Thanks! I have now added:

• Mitigating antimicrobial resistance:

  • From Carrique-Mas 2020, “the greatest quantities of antimicrobials (in decreasing order) were used in pigs (41.7% of total use), humans (28.3%), aquaculture (21.9%) and chickens (4.8%). Combined AMU in other species accounted for < 1.5%”.

  • Boeckel 2015 projects that “antimicrobial consumption [in livestock production] will rise by 67% by 2030 [relative to 2010]”.
