Light blue is bang on in the middle so it’s still quite a lot.

“Bang on in the middle” of the legend. Well, below the middle of the legend. The bottom half of the legend covers 0 - 50 while the top half covers 50 - 200+. The US is at 31 mg/kg as of 2020

I mean, we’re doing better than basically every other 1st world country, and those that are beating us don’t have big livestock industries.

Survey was for antibiotics not steroids
MrMobius@sh.itjust.works 19 hours ago
I thought the US would be way up there given the intensive livestock industry there. But I guess we all underestimated the pig industry in China. They have multi-storey slaughter houses for pigs over there!

Really, why?
Like why not process rural, it has to be cheaper to just use rural land and go horizontal than vertical.
Liz@midwest.social 35 minutes ago
We used to do vertical in Chicago. You drive the livestock to the top floor, butcher them there, then use gravity to move them around.

Brazil certainly should be broken down by state, I imagine the USA as well.
My state in south Brazil has VERY strict controls on animals entering the state so we can use less antibiotics and other stuff.

Then you’d likely have to do that for every country with subdivisions that affect the chart

Are the nordics low because of cleaner feed operations, or are the nordics zero because it’s been banned?

In Scandinavia they have a policy to minimize the use of antibiotics, even on people, to prevent antibiotic resistance.
Delirioum@programming.dev 22 hours ago
Which has two sides to it. It is very hard to get antibiotics unless there is a clear sign of a specific infection going on, e.g. after a tick bite those red circles on the skin.
In any other case just having high fever for a bit does not prompt doctors to check for bacterial infections. Instead they ask you how long you got that fever and if you say anything lower than 6/7 days they simply tell you to come back after 6/7 days if the fever isn’t gone still. Only then they run a blood test and prescribe antibiotics, should you have a bacterial infection.
I understand the idea but you could probably test much earlier and give the antibiotics, if useful, earlier so that people can avoid feeling miserable for just a few days instead of a whole week. It also just prompts people to lie about how long they’ve been sick, just in case.
ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 22 hours ago
Agriculture isn’t terribly industrialised in Sweden and Norway. So smaller farms means fewer animals get infected when something is going around. And fewer practises like weaning piglets early and giving them prophylactic antibiotics.
And the projection makes them look big on the map.

Easy to not use any when you can just freeze bacteria to death lol

Birch@sh.itjust.works 20 hours ago
Depends, do you plan on being eaten?
abbadon420@lemm.ee 19 hours ago
Depends on how long you want to remain in Chinese prison

Can someone explain the disparity between Australia’s and New Zealand’s use of antibiotics in meat?
evasive_chimpanzee@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
In addition to what others said, they likely have different percentages of livestock. Beef vs. Dairy vs. Sheep, etc
bollybing@lemmynsfw.com 16 hours ago
Different countries, different laws.
Hawk@lemmynsfw.com 12 hours ago
Probably exports. Small population + large number of exports, it’s possible the per capita scaling skews this.

Is this true? Every Chinese person I know says the US is more than China and it affects meat flavor
GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 22 hours ago
I mean, thats asking the fox what he did in the hen house, to coin a paraphrase. Chinese citizens are generally very nationalistic and have a very skewed perspective due to the near total control of information the government has.
ComradeMiao@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 hours ago
I got an interesting answer from family. They said they only get countryside local chicken this way they don’t get the factory chicken with all the meds. These are typically used in restaurants not homes.
This makes sense!
Acinonyx@lemmy.sdf.org 21 hours ago
yeah I’m sure the chinese citizens only get told correct information by their government. I can’t imagine there being false propaganda in china
