Antibiotics are available but not abuseable

If the use of hormones is illegal, the use of antibiotics is more complicated. In the United States, there are currently no clear regulations on this and it is controversial. Simply put, there is no law prohibiting farmers or breeders from using antibiotics. Because poultry, like humans, can get sick and get sick and need medical treatment, there is no problem. The question is whether excessive amounts constitute "abuse", and so is China. EhL China Feed Industry Information Network - based on feed, serving animal husbandry

Professor Ding Huanzhong from the College of Veterinary Medicine, South China Agricultural University said: "From the level of farming and the environment in China, the use of antibiotics is essential. Broilers are sometimes prone to illness, and some drugs are necessary. American chickens also use antibiotics, according to the Ministry of Agriculture. Regulations, reasonable use, can be used according to the prescribed methods, and must ensure the drug withdrawal period, the so-called drug withdrawal period, that is, the period of time before the poultry market can not use antibiotics."

80% of the antibiotics currently sold in the United States are in the body of chickens, pigs, cattle and other meat animals; but producers of poultry and livestock meat do not need to report how they use antibiotics. No matter what animal is used and what amount is used, it is not required to be reported. EhL China Feed Industry Information Network - based on feed, serving animal husbandry

On the related issues, the United States has multiple contradictions. Some researchers believe that it is necessary to regulate the use of antibiotics, but some large poultry producers oppose it. In addition, poultry farming is regulated by the US Department of Agriculture, and the use of antibiotics is regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This also brings trouble.

In 1977, the FDA announced that it would ban some antibiotics for agricultural use. However, the Senate and House Appropriations Committee passed a resolution under the dominance of agricultural interests and opposed any such ban. After the FDA retreats, it has tried to regulate the use of antibiotics in veterinary animals, including the use of cephalosporins in animals - the most common prescription antibiotic for the treatment of human pneumonia, streptococcal laryngitis and urinary tract infections. .

William, deputy director of science policy at the FDA Veterinary Center? According to William Flynn, the use of antibiotics in the human body can be closely monitored through the vast infrastructure of the national health care system, but animals do not have such basic conditions, which makes tracking the use of antibiotics on farms and pastures even more difficult.

At present, the main hope of the FDA is to control the feed manufacturers to arbitrarily sell antibiotics in large quantities without a prescription. In April 2012, the FDA recommended prohibiting the use of certain antibiotics to promote animal growth and requiring livestock producers to obtain prescriptions before using certain antibiotics.

Flein said the FDA is taking action as soon as possible to ensure that antibiotics are used cautiously on animals. He believes that it is an "important shift" to require a meat animal producer to get a prescription before using certain antibiotics.

"According to the laws and regulations of the Ministry of Agriculture, some antibiotics need prescriptions and some do not. There are detailed regulations in this area, there is no need to list them. In general, China's regulations in this regard are relatively perfect." Ding Huanzhong said. EhL China Feed Industry Information Network - based on feed, serving animal husbandry
