ISSUE FOCUS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE January 2023 49 The surveillance of AMR not only demonstrates the impressive success of animal producers to reduce antimicrobial consumption but also demonstrates the possibilities for further improvements. As shown in Figure 3, the prevalence of antibiotic-susceptible bacteria (those not resistant to antibiotics) can be as high as 80%, which is the current situation in Iceland, Finland, and Norway. It will be very challenging or perhaps even impossible to achieve the antibiotic resistance prevalence of the pre-antibiotic era. However, a big reduction is surely possible for animal producers in many countries. Ensuring the efficacy of antimicrobials in the future and reducing AMR is possible and provides clear benefits for the health of animals and people.
