CFAASP Resources

We convert surveillance results into useful information for participating feedlot producers and veterinarians, the Canadian beef industry, bovine practitioners, researchers, Public Health Agency of Canada, and other stakeholders (e.g., reports, infographics/fact sheets, webinars, podcasts).

RESOURCES

 

The CFAASP Resources library contains internal documents and media files of the AMU and AMR surveillance findings from the Canadian Feedlot AMU/AMR Surveillance Program. Users may search the library using the various search categories below.

Feed Antimicrobial Use (AMU) in Canadian Feedlot Cattle - CFAASP 2023 In 2023, AMU data were collected from 129,871 head of cattle in 393 randomly selected closed production lots, from 26 finishing feedlots in AB, SK, and ON.
Ninety-five percent of all antimicrobials used in Canadian feedlot cattle in 2023 were administered in the feed.
No antimicrobials of very high importance in human medicine were used in feed. 		Jan 26, 2025

Parenteral Antimicrobial Use in Canadian Feedlot Cattle CFAASP 2023 In 2023, AMU (antimicrobial use) data were collected from129,872 head of cattle in 393 randomly selected closed production lots from 26 finishing feedlots in AB, SK, and ON. Approximately 50% of the cattle were 1) calves vs. yearlings,2) steers vs. heifers, and 3) at high risk for bovine respiratory disease (BRD) on feedlot entry. Parenteral (injectable (4.5%), oral boluses (0.5%))antimicrobials represented 5% of all AMU. In 2023, parenteral AMU was similar in calves and yearlings although types of antimicrobials used varied. AMU increased in yearlings from 2019 to 2023. Jan 20, 2025
