Used Daily Dose (UDD) or actual administered doses per day per kilogram per animal of a drug within a herd (actual administered dose/day/kg) can be calculated for all drugs. This concept is used by the German antimicrobial use monitoring system. This system is interesting because the number of individual doses used at the farm (nUDD) can be easily calculated from the on-farm treatment records (nUDD = number of animals treated multiplied by the treatment days and the number of active ingredients in the product).
