Descripción
Antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacterial infections are estimated to cause hundreds of thousands of deaths globally, resulting in a significant economic burden. Excessive use of antimicrobials in human communities and hospitals, as well as in animal production, is a major driver for the emergence and dissemination of AMR. Notably, approximately 75 percent of antimicrobial use (AMU) globally is associated with animal production. Poultry meat (predominantly chicken) is the most consumed protein commodity worldwide. Due to fast population growth and rising incomes the global consumption of poultry meat has been rising and is expected to reach 150 million tonnes by 2029.4 In Vietnam, chicken consumption has increased 119 percent (from 451 000 to 990 000 tonnes) between 2010 and 2020, ranking as the second most commonly consumed type of meat after pork.
