    Citation Excerpt :

    The ESVAC reports have shown that there are vast differences between countries in amounts of antimicrobials sold for food-producing animals (Grave et al., 2014; ESVAC, 2015), but these data do not provide insight on how sales are distributed by species and age groups. Other sources however have shown that the use of antimicrobials for pigs is higher than for other species (Merle et al., 2012; Bondt et al., 2013; DANMAP, 2013; Hosoi et al., 2013) and use may differ between age groups (Dunlop et al., 1998; Hybschmann et al., 2011; Callens et al., 2012; Jensen et al., 2012; Moreno, 2014; van Rennings et al., 2015). Comparing the sales on species level may change the relation between countries with regards to sales, as size and structure of the pig producing sector varies considerably between the European countries (Eurostat, 2014).
