The Food and Drug Administration's Proposed Method for Adjusting Data on Antimicrobials Sold or Distributed for Use in Food-Producing Animals Using a Biomass Denominator; Availability

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability for public comment of a proposed method for applying a food animal biomass denominator to annual data on antimicrobials sold and distributed for use in food animals in the United States. This method will allow us to obtain a corrected estimate of antimicrobial drug sales relative to the animal population potentially being treated with those drugs, thereby lending further context to the antimicrobial sales data we are collecting and analyzing.
