There are many contributing factors but one that has been especially contentious is the use of “medically important” antibiotics for “production purposes” in food-producing animals, particularly when they are added to animal feed. “Medically important” refers to drugs important for treating human disease [1]; “production purposes” refers to using antibiotics (typically at lower than therapeutic dosages) to promote growth or improve feed efficiency [2]. It has long been known that adding antibiotics to feed enhances growth, although there is dispute about the mechanism [3]. However, recent studies suggest that under modern production systems, improvements in growth may not be as large (or maybe non-existent) as seen under previous production systems [4]. Read More |
