The OIE Annual Report on Antimicrobial Agents Intended for Use in Animals gathers data provided, on
a voluntarily basis, by the Veterinary Services of OIE Members and non-OIE Members on the use of
antimicrobial agents in animals. The present report has three main sections: (1) interpretation of the
overall findings of the sixth annual data collection round, reporting results at global and regional levels;
(2) detailed analyses for 2018, with regard to the total amount of antimicrobial agents intended for
use in animals, as well as normalised using an estimated animal biomass indicator; (3) trend analyses
for 2016 to 2018, after adjustment to the estimated animal biomass indicator. (Read the full report here:)
