Companion animals such as swine, cattle, horses, and fish are prone to various kinds of infections. Antimicrobials and antibiotics are used to treat these infections. Farm owners also use these drugs to accelerate the growth of animals, especially in the farms of North America and Europe. Similar to medicines used by humans, animal antimicrobials and antibiotics require authorization from the governments of the countries where it is being marketed. Lack of adherence to guidelines on antibiotic usage on farm animals can lead to over-use of antibiotics and result in drug-resistant strains of microorganisms. These can then be transferred to human beings through consumption of milk or meat.

The analysts forecast global animal antimicrobials and antibiotics market to grow at a CAGR of 5.25% over the period 2014-2019.
