*The mg/PCU is a unit of measurement developed by the European Medicines Agency to monitor antibiotic use and sales across Europe. PCU refers to the Population Correction Unit and takes into account the animal population as well as the estimated weight of each animal at the time of treatment with antibiotics. Despite it is a theoretical unit of measurement, it does allow to see year-on-year developments and to grasp trends.
