The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine recently published the "2020 Summary Report on Antimicrobials Sold or Distributed for Use in Food-Producing Animals." The report indicates that domestic sales and distribution of medically important antimicrobial drugs approved for use in food-producing animals decreased by 3 percent between 2019 and 2020. That’s a 38 percent decrease since 2015, which was the peak year of sales.
