  1. aTI100it = treatment incidence 100 for Italy, calculated by using the defined daily dose for animals for Italy based on Italian guidelines of dosage obtained from the Italian database (http://www.classyfarm.it); TI100vet = treatment incidence 100 for EU, calculated by using the defined daily dose for animals for Europe based on EMA’ guidelines of dosage51; HPCIA = Highest Priority Critically Important Antimicrobials.
  2. bBDA = Blonde d’Aquitaine, CHR = Charolaise, FRC = French crossbred, IRC = Irish crossbred, ITC = Italian crossbred, LIM = Limousine, SAL = Salers.
  3. Statistically different from the intercept = ^0.10 < P < 0.05; *P < 0.05.
