Twenty-four farms were included in this study (Denmark n = 20, Iceland n = 2, and The Netherlands n = 2), following a cohort of animals born in 2018. The objectives of this study were (1) to monitor the farm level of antibiotic resistance during one production cycle and (2) to assess the potential associations between antibiotic consumption and resistance. The seasonality makes mink a good model for the investigation of the association between antibiotic consumption and resistance. Some of the diseases are age-related, which is reflected in the seasonal variation of antibiotic consumption. Mink breeding follows a distinctive seasonal reproduction cycle, and all of the mink produced in the northern hemisphere are bred, born, and pelted around the same time of year. ![]() ![]() Antibiotic consumption is considered to be a main driver of antibiotic resistant bacteria. ![]()
