Antimicrobial use within diverse animal sectors, spanning domestic livestock, poultry, companion animals (e.g. dogs, cats, and horses), and minor species (e.g. fish, sheep, and goats) is a critical aspect of veterinary medicine. The overarching goal of this research is to leverage our tools and their data extraction capabilities to comprehensively characterize antimicrobial use practices within diverse animal populations, including domestic livestock, poultry, companion animals, and minor species. The end goal of this work is to provide thorough, high-quality data to regulatory agencies like the FDA to support evidence-based decision-making on where to focus antimicrobial use data collection efforts.
