Food animal antibiotics bill introduced PDF Print E-mail

A bill introduced in the House of Representatives would require the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to withdraw the sub-therapeutic use of seven classes of antibiotics in food animals. The bill was introduced by Rep. Louise Slaughter of New York.

Slaughter claims that giving antibiotics to animals for sub-therapeutic purposes had led to an increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria in humans. However, Iowa Rep. Steve King, who represents the largest pork-producing congressional district in the U.S., says disease prevention is necessary to reduce the incidence of potentially debilitating livestock illnesses.

A coalition of 20 livestock organizations is opposing the bill, which they say will cause increased animal disease and death.
