antimicrobial
consumption in animals veterinary and food administration (dvfa) in collaboration with national veterinary institute dtu, national food institute dtu, the practicing veterinarians organization, university experts, the
danish
association of the veterinary pharmaceu- tical industry and the
danish
agriculture and food council. the latest update was in 2010, when new dynamic evidence- based treatment guidelines for pigs were launched [danmap 2010, www.fvst.dk]. in 2012, the
danish
veterinary associa- tion published treatment guidelines to promote prudent use of
antimicrobial
s in dogs and cats, prepared by clinical specialists and expert scientists from the faculty of health and medical sciences at the university of copenhagen and national food institute dtu. 4.1.1

sources
data
on
antimicrobial
use at the product level have been col- lected in denmark since 1996, including historical
data
back to 1990. in denmark, all therapeutic medicine is available by pre- scription only, and since 2001,
data
on all medicine prescribed for use in animals, including vaccines, have been collected in a national
data
base (vetstat).
data
on consumption of coc- cidiostatic agents (non-prescription) and
antimicrobial
growth promoters (no longer permitted), are also collected in vetstat. consumption
data
used in danmap 2015 were extracted from vetstat by the
danish
veterinary and food administration (dvfa) in march (zinc oxide) and october 2016. national food institute dtu carried out no further validation of the received
data
. fur- thermore,
data
concerning use of coccidiostats were also obtained from vetstat (july 2016) and these are presented in textbox 4.1 4.1.2 methods metrics of
antimicrobial
consumption are numerous, each with its own advantages and limitations. therefore, the selection of measures to monitor must depend on the purpose and the available information. the overall amount of
antimicrobial
agents is measured in kg active compound and is used in section 4.2 for the purpose of an overall crude comparison of
antimicrobial
use in the veteri- nary and human sectors and to enable international compari- sons (figure 4.1). in danmap 2012, we introduced two new metrics to monitor trends in
antimicrobial
consumption to ensure the robust- ness of the analyses over time and to facilitate comparisons between animal species, as well as comparisons between the figure 4.1. prescribed
