EXTERNAL STUDY This is a summary of an external study
In 2010 spending for disease preventing animal drugs rose 8%, with much of this increase being used by factory farming.

Spending on drugs for disease prevention for animals increased by 8% between 2009 and 2010 in the U.S. Much of this increase may be due to pharmaceutical use in factory farming.

There are three product areas in which drugs to prevent or treat disease are used, and all saw an increase between 2009 and 2010. The highest increases were seen with feed additives (10% increase) and pharmaceuticals (9% increase), followed by biologics (e.g. vaccines) with a 5% increase in sales. In total, $6.9 billion was spent on drugs for animals in 2010.
