[QUOTE="stocky, post: 1276601, member: 1150"] Lately, I have been hearing alot of talk about new 2016 rules for antibiotics that will make them much harder to get and alot more expensive for farmers to use on their cattle. A feed store owner told me today that he will have to stop selling medicated feed due to the increase in paperwork and traceability to each animal. Others have said that instead of being able to buy drugs from company salesmen they will have to be purchased from veterinarians at a per dose per animal amount. This would take a drug like Draxxin from 3.60 per cc to 5.50-6.00 per cc, which would be prohibitive for most farmers. People are blaming different groups for pushing these rules but the veterinarians are getting the blame from farmers for supporting this as they are being blamed for wanting to cut the throats of company salesmen who are selling the drugs for half of what vets charge. I have no idea what is true and what is not true. I am just wondering what others have heard about the new rules and why they are being implemented. [/QUOTE]
