A Scoping Review of Antimicrobial Usage and Antimicrobial Resistance in Beef Cow-Calf Herds in the United States and Canada.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The magnitude and knowledge gaps regarding antimicrobial use (AMU) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) have not been summarized for the North American cow-calf production sector, although estimates of AMU and AMR are essential to AMR risk analysis. The objectives of this scoping review were to map AMU and AMR in the beef cow-calf sector in Canada and the United States, summarize published AMU/AMR predictors, and identify research gaps.

Methods

An electronic search was conducted of four bibliographic databases and Google Scholar, augmented by a hand-search of captured studies.

Results

Twenty-three of three-hundred and forty-three publications screened advanced to data extraction. Of these, 10 were conducted in the USA and 13 in Canada. Thirteen studied AMR an
