Zoonoses and Public Health publishes special issue centered on Antimicrobial Use Data Collection and Reporting 

November 17, 2020 – The scientific journal Zoonoses and Public Health announced today that it has published a special issue on Antimicrobial Use Data Collection and Reporting. The 123-page publication includes eight original articles as well as an introduction by Susan J. Bright-Ponte of the US Food & Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine. 

The publication’s release coincides with World Antimicrobial Awareness Week, November 18-24. The majority of the research for this project was funded by the Food & Drug Administration as part of a larger effort to form and nurture public-private partnerships in the US in order to advance responsible use and stewardship of antimicrobials.  

Two of the publication’s articles are tailored to research specific to the poultry industry and should be of interest to poultry professionals: “Estimates of on‐farm antimicrobial usage in broiler chicken production in the United States, 2013–2017”  (Randall S. Singer, Leah J. Porter, Nora F. D. Schrag, Peter R. Davies, Michael D. Apley, Kathe Bjork) and “Estimates of on‐farm antimicrobial usage in turkey production in the United States, 2013–2017” (Randall S. Singer, Leah J. Porter, Nora F. D. Schrag, Peter R. Davies, Michael D. Apley, Kathe Bjork). 

Access to the digital versions of the publication is available at: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/18632378/2020/67/S1.
