Small-scale food animal production is widely practiced around the globe, yet it is often overlooked in terms of the environmental health risks. Evidence suggests that small-scale food animal producers often employ the use of antimicrobials to improve the survival and growth of their animals, and that this practice leads to the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) that can potentially spread to humans. The nature of human-animal interactions in small-scale food animal production systems, generally practiced in and around the home, likely augments spillover events of AMR into the community on a scale that is currently unrecognized and deserves greater attention. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP2116.
小规模食用动物生产在全球广泛开展，但在环境健康风险方面却常常被忽视。有证据表明，小规模食用动物生产者经常使用抗菌药物来提高动物的存活率和生长速度，而这种做法会导致抗菌药物耐药性（AMR）的产生，进而有可能传播给人类。小规模食用动物生产系统中的人畜互动性质，通常是在家庭及其周边进行，这可能会使AMR以目前未被认识到的规模溢出到社区，值得给予更多关注。https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP2116
