Global antibiotic use in livestock under reduction scenarios, 2030
Projected global antibiotic use in livestock under expected meat consumption levels in 2030, and a range of modeled reduction scenarios based on antibiotic uselimits, reductions in meat consumption, and a fee on antibiotic sales. Further details on each scenario are given in the sources tab. Global antibiotic use ismeasured in tonnes per year.
