Considering the development of animal farming to meet an increasing demand for proteins, this deficiency represents a serious public health issue. Qualitative interviews of farmers show a lack of knowledge and uninformed use of antimicrobials. Apart from the lack of solid data on antimicrobial use in many countries in Africa, different hypotheses could explain this situation. Although currently available data indicate that Africa has the lowest usage of antimicrobials in animals in the world (adjusted by animal biomass), data show a high prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in foodborne pathogens isolated from animals and animal products.
