Animal production or sourced animal protein share receiving medically important antimicrobials
Measurement answer
What this metric measures
Reports, by animal type, the proportion of animal production or animal protein sourced that receives medically important antimicrobials and the proportion that does not.

- Formula type
- Percentage
Formula
For each animal type and declared denominator basis: P_received = (N_received / D) × 100; P_not_received = (N_not_received / D) × 100.Apply the source-defined TNFD sector-guidance method within the stated reporting boundary. This is a standalone two-field percentage disclosure with an explicit outcome and animal-type categorization. It is not the same construct as the shortlisted general antibiotic-receipt metric because this source specifically limits the numerator to medically important antimicrobials and requires the reciprocal non-receipt field.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Definition | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
P_received | Share receiving medically important antimicrobials | Percentage of the declared denominator that receives medically important antimicrobials. | % |
P_not_received | Share not receiving medically important antimicrobials | Percentage of the declared denominator that does not receive medically important antimicrobials. | % |
N_received | Animal production or sourced animal protein receiving medically important antimicrobials | Numerator for the receipt-status share for the relevant animal type. | same unit as D |
N_not_received | Animal production or sourced animal protein not receiving medically important antimicrobials | Numerator for the non-receipt-status share for the relevant animal type. | same unit as D |
D | Declared animal-production or sourced-animal-protein denominator | Total animal production or animal protein sourced for the relevant animal type and selected basis. | declared production or protein unit |

Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Source-edition basis: TNFD sector guidance, Final English sector guidance collection through August 2026 (17 documents).
- Definition or authoritative classification used for medically important antimicrobials.
- Selected denominator basis: animal production or animal protein sourced.
- Animal types included and classification method.
- Production, sourcing, ownership, supplier-tier, and geographic coverage.
- Method for determining whether antimicrobials were received during the reporting period.
Record-specific limitations
- The extracted specification does not define medically important antimicrobials or prescribe a classification list.
- The source permits an animal-production or sourced-animal-protein basis; results are not directly comparable unless the selected denominator basis is disclosed.
- The extracted text does not specify a geographic, ownership, or supplier-tier boundary.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
