The food animal industry is a major user of antibiotics and contributes to antimicrobial resistance. When antimicrobials are used in animals, it can lead to resistance in bacteria that can be transferred to humans. Measures to reduce antimicrobial use include using locally adapted breeds, good hygiene, and biosecurity on farms. Strong cases of multidrug resistance are occurring among farm animals in India, northeast China, Kenya, Uruguay, and Brazil.
