[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1792735, member: 38590"] Good post. Additionally, there aren't likely to be any new antibiotics hitting the market for cattle in the foreseeable future, if ever again. I've already come across respiratory pathogens that are resistant to every antibiotic on the market. Reducing antibiotic use will help to prevent that from becoming the norm. The goal of the new rules is to reduce the amount of antibiotics used in livestock. The first phase, which only applied to antibiotics added to feed, was very successful. Antibiotic use for livestock dropped significantly with no measurable impact to animal health. I expect we'll see a similar phenomenon with the new rule. [/QUOTE]
