Impact of collective treatment. Each point represents the relative average additional consumption of antibiotics doses and relative average reduction in the cumulate disease duration when allowing collective treatment during fattening, compared to the same scenario with individual treatment only. The bisector (dashed line) represents theoretical situations when gaining X% of disease duration would require an additional X% of antimicrobial doses: for points above this line, the relative cost in antimicrobials induced by the collective treatment was higher than the relative gain in disease duration.
