    31mg is weak for a grown adult human. That means the average shows widespread low-level use OR high volumes for very low numbers, which is how it’s supposed to be when a patient has poor circulation from a lack of motion.

      This is an average across the entire industry, not an indication of the dosage given to a single animal. Some animals will be on none, and others will be on a clinically appropriate dose as necessary

        A) “You” as in your mammalian cells don’t care about (most) antibiotics. Your intestinal microbiome does, however. But it doesn’t exactly get resistant. B) Antibiotica used in medicine are generally reserved for medical purposes. High usage in agriculture is not pretty, sure, and certainly won’t help multi-resistant pathogen issues, but your statement is wrong regardless.
