Study on Veterinary Antimicrobial use

News: The Indian Journal of Medical Research reports that among the rest of the globe, India is developing the highest level of anti-microbial medication resistance. Antimicrobial resistance is rising in humans, animals, and food in India. India’s AMU was 43% higher than the global average in 2020. This is expected to rise by 40% by 2030.

 

  • AMR is the term used by the World Health Organization to describe the development of drug resistance in bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microbes. Superbugs are germs that have evolved a resistance to antimicrobials.
  • Every year, the resistance level rises between 5% and 10%. Currently, 70,000 Indian residents each year develop resistance to AMR. By 2050, there will likely be ten million people.
  • The AMR will influence economic expansion. GDP will decline by 2% to 3.5%
  • Revenues from livestock will drop by 3% to 8%.
  • India is the world’s top milk producer and has enormous potential in the poultry and animal husbandry industries. In these areas, India’s growth will be impacted by the AMR.
