What's a good argument against the use of antibiotics in animal feed?
assistant
Antibiotics are used to promote growth and prevent disease in animals, but they also contribute to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This is because when antibiotics are given to animals, it can lead to an overgrowth of certain types of bacteria that have developed resistance to the antibiotic. These resistant bacteria then spread to humans through contact with food or water contaminated by the animal waste.
