Americas is low because they are cheap bastards, not out of any concern for food quality or animal welfare.
this should be adjusted for amount produced .. in chile the antibiotic usage is high but we mostly consume meat from Argentina and Brasil
But it's per kilogram of meat (produced).
The is is interesting. I thought the US would be much higher. Though doesn't surprise me to see china so high up
Survey was for antibiotics not steroids
Ah - that was why I was so confused. Canada, for example, limits the growth hormone in dairy cattle while the US does not.

Light blue is bang on in the middle so it's still quite a lot.
"Bang on in the middle" of the legend, but not of the data. And below the middle of the legend, actually. The bottom half of the legend covers 0 - 50 while the top half covers 50 - 200+. The US is at 31 mg/kg as of 2020
Good point I feel like this graphic could use some improvements tbh 🧐
It's pretty clear to me. 50 is there safe threshold as mentioned, everything below is safe, marked as blue and everything above is dangerous, marked as increasingly darker red. Looks quite nice and gets the point across imo.

You have been banned from lemmy.ml
Thank
I thought the US would be way up there given the intensive livestock industry there. But I guess we all underestimated the pig industry in China. They have multi-storey slaughter houses for pigs over there!

Brazil certainly should be broken down by state, I imagine the USA as well.
My state in south Brazil has VERY strict controls on animals entering the state so we can use less antibiotics and other stuff.

Hope you had a great christmas
My leek+mushroom stuffed seitan roast was delicious, antibiotic-free, and cruelty-free. So tyvm, I did.
Are the nordics low because of cleaner feed operations, or are the nordics zero because it’s been banned?
In Scandinavia they have a policy to minimize the use of antibiotics, even on people, to prevent antibiotic resistance.
Which has two sides to it. It is very hard to get antibiotics unless there is a clear sign of a specific infection going on, e.g. after a tick bite those red circles on the skin.
In any other case just having high fever for a bit does not prompt doctors to check for bacterial infections. Instead they ask you how long you got that fever and if you say anything lower than 6/7 days they simply tell you to come back after 6/7 days if the fever isn't gone still. Only then they run a blood test and prescribe antibiotics, should you have a bacterial infection.
I understand the idea but you could probably test much earlier and give the antibiotics, if useful, earlier so that people can avoid feeling miserable for just a few days instead of a whole week. It also just prompts people to lie about how long they've been sick, just in case.
Oh, yeah. Exaggerating your symptoms is the only way to make doctors take your condition seriously. Unless you are a pregnant woman, or a cancer patient. Nordic healthcare is sometimes frustrating in small ways.
Still sounds leaps and bounds better than the US system that my family and I have been ground through for these past several decades.

Agriculture isn't terribly industrialised in Sweden and Norway. So smaller farms means fewer animals get infected when something is going around. And fewer practises like weaning piglets early and giving them prophylactic antibiotics.
And the projection makes them look big on the map.

China builds workers, they really don't care what happens to their people after prime working ages of 14 to 35, ergo they pump their livestock up with as many antibiotics as can produce the most protein, and leave any issues of antibiotic resistance to .... later (never)
if they aren't careful, they might cause a global pandemic... wait a minute
