The article is terrible. At the very least break down the use by animal and mass. Never mind cows are not raised like pigs which are not raised like chickens.

Never mind cows are not raised like pigs which are not raised like chickens. To lump them all together is silly and insulting.
- callalex 4y agoBut they don’t lump them together, and they acknowledge your concern specifically.
- jweir 4y agoWhat I would like to see a break down by animal mass. For meat production the US produces almost equivalent amounts of beef and pork. But the US also has about 10 million dairy cows. The FDA report is for food producing animals – which includes dairy cows. Unfortunately the FDA report does not include mass either, but I reckon if you were to look at the antibiotics/animal mass you would see that swine is a huge outlier.
