[QUOTE="MO_cows, post: 776925, member: 9169"] There is an aricle featured on the home page which begins, [i]Livestock producers have fed antibiotics to promote growth to food animals for years. [/i] In the context of CATTLE, isn't this misinformation? Shouldn't it read "[b]Feedlot operators [/b]have fed antibiotics...." Is there anybody here who is a cow/calf producer and feeds antibiotics for growth as opposed to just treating a sick animal with antibiotics? And even in the feedlot, wouldn't a constant stream of incoming antibiotics wreak havoc with the digestion bugs? I had always thought cattle were subjected to a lot less antibiotics compared to pork and poultry? Macon, I don't want to give you a headache, honest! This is a great site and I am happy for the opportunity to read and post here. Just trying to figure out if some of what I thought I knew is wrong. [/QUOTE]
