Description:	The growing demand for animal protein poses a challenge for pig farming to balance efficiency, sustainability, and economic viability. In intensive systems, the increased exposure of pigs to infectious agents raises health risks, making the use of antimicrobials a common practice for prevention and treatment in order to maintain zootechnical performance (Botelho, 2017). However, intensive and often inappropriate use compromises the effectiveness of these drugs, favoring bacterial resistance in animals and humans (WOAH, 2023). In Brazil, pig farming faces structural challenges such as mixing piglets from different origins, different levels of biosecurity, and early weaning, factors that favor the systematic and preventive use of antimicrobials. The lack of consolidated data limits the development of control policies. Thus, this study aimed to quantify the use of antimicrobials in the nursery, growth, and finishing phases and to identify management practices associated with their consumption.
