To meet the global public health challenge of antibiotic resistance, we must look beyond species and geography. The animal health industry is meeting its goals for responsible use of antibiotics, and coordinated action is necessary across humans, animals, and environment. A study from University of Edinburgh explored the relationship between animal use and human AMR, finding that “curtailing the volume of antibiotics consumed by food animals has, as a stand-alone measure, little impact on the level of resistance in humans.” Other research has found that the majority of antibiotic-resistant bacteria are transferred through person-to-person contact, particularly in healthcare settings. A Lancet study analyzed more than a decade of data in the Netherlands to identify the source of resistant E. coli genes in people, finding that 78.6 percent is from human-to-human transmission, environment, or other sources while 21.4 percent is from meat, seafood, or contact with farm animals. The good news is that nearly 200 nations around the world are taking collective action to address the global health challenge of animal antibiotic resistance, and the effort is showing results. Antibiotic use in veterinary care declined 20% between 2016 and 2019, according to the most recent data from the World Organization for Animal Health. This progress is thanks to the growing adoption of preventative veterinary tools, including vaccines, pro- and pre-biotics, and enhanced biosecurity measures.

This World Antibiotics Awareness Week, the animal health industry recognizes the importance of responsible antibiotic use and stewardship as well as the progress toward reducing the need for antibiotics. According to a report from HealthforAnimals, data across major markets shows a declining need for antimicrobial use. In the UK, antimicrobial sales for livestock dropped by 59% between 2014 and 2022, with a 82% reduction in the use of highest-priority, critically important antimicrobials. In the wider EU, use has fallen 53% since 2011, and up to 68% in large markets like Germany. In the US sales of medically important antibiotics dropped 36% since 2015. And according to the most recent data from the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH), antibiotic use in veterinary care declined 20% between 2016 and 2019. These reductions have occurred as use of prevention products, like vaccines, have dramatically risen. Data from the world’s largest animal health companies shows that since 2015, sales of antibiotics have declined 29.9% while sales of vaccines have increased 33.1%. Biosecurity measures, which refers to the physical measures that are used to prevent the spread of disease on and between farms, are a vital component in reducing AMR. A study of EU swine found that increasing biosecurity and vaccination led to a reduction in antimicrobial usage by 52% for fattening pigs and 32% for breeding animals. And a review of 27 studies across 16 countries found that 70% of results showed a positive association between farm biosecurity and management with a reduction in antimicrobial use. Ultimately, a One Health approach that incorporates human and veterinary medicine must focus simultaneously on disease prevention and optimized antibiotic use where it will have outsized impacts. Growing recognition of the One Health approach has inspired a shift toward more responsible antibiotic use and stewardship.

This week, experts from across the globe convened in Indianapolis, Indiana for the 44th VICH Steering Committee and 18th VICH Forum – hosted by the Animal Health Institute (AHI) and chaired by the U.S. FDA, with the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) leading the VICH Forum. VICH is an international standard setting body whose work harmonizes global standards for veterinary drug approval. This helps support more efficient regulatory reviews and makes medicines safer and more consistent across countries. More than 50 participants representing industry and regulatory agencies from countries spanning five continents came together with a shared mission: advancing the global harmonization of technical requirements for veterinary medicinal products. These conversations matter. They strengthen science-based regulation, support innovation, and reinforce the collective commitment of regulators and industry around the world to ensuring veterinary medicines are safe and effective for use by veterinarians, food producers and pet owners to keep animals healthy. #animalhealth #veterinarians #animalmedicine #innovation
