PEN—penicillin; AMX—amoxicillin; AMC—amoxicillin-clavulanic acid; CEF—ceftiofur; CEQ—cefquinome; STR—streptomycin; KAN—kanamycin; GEN—gentamicin; TET—tetracycline; ERY—erythromycin; RIF—rifampicin; SXT—trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole; ENO—enrofloxacin; MAR—marbofloxacine; OXA—oxacillin, marker of methicillin resistance; FOX—cefoxitin, marker of methicillin resistance; * Chi-square test compared to the previous year, p < 0.05; ** Cochran–Armitage trend test, p < 0.05. The percentage of resistance is categorised by cell colours: green for resistance ≤10%, yellow for resistance between 10% and 30%, pink for resistance between 30% and 50%, and red for resistance >50%.
