The federal food and drug administration (FDA) decided to start with three years from 2014 ban on the rear livestock antibiotics abuse.if success，Will be the FDA to one of the major policy for decades.however,It Suffered a lot of controversy as soon as a policy,many people think if this policy is not mandatory, it is easy to let a person to find loopholes,moreover,Large enterprise and the pharmaceutical industry don't want to lose their lucrative sales profit, they also managed to keep the antibiotic use in animal husbandry.
The fact: 80% of antibiotics in animal husbandry is widely used in the United States.
The federal food and drug administration has just issued a series of new policies to limit of antibiotics in the aim at making for meat cattle, pigs and chickens in the breeding of use.The ban on the use of antibiotics, the logic is very simple.
In the field of modern medicine, the use of antibiotics is almost inevitable, and antibiotics are slowly lost its effectiveness.Resistance is now spreading rapidly to 23000 americans die each year.While 80% of antibiotics have been used in livestock breeding.There are have two purposes use antibiotics in the livestock, one is control disease in livestock,the other is let the cattle gain weight.
According to experts, in large industrial farms, cattle are usually in a crowded in a narrow space,it is more easy be infected with various diseases.Therefore the use of antibiotics to prevent livestock infection diseases. From 50 s, farmers realized when often to feed cows, pigs or chickens antibiotics can speed up their growth and increase their weight.
Since 2008,piyou charitable trusts committee issued “The non-therapeutic antibiotics used to let more and more failure”.The report explain to the use of antibiotics to promote livestock growth should be stopped.
If stop use antibiotics,The price of meat will rise in America for average man.If not stop,America's health insurance will increase $20 billion,it means that the every American afford $60 a year more.
Question one:What is the new regulations about use antibiotics in animal in American?
The federal food and drug administration (fda) defines two things.first,arge animal drug manufacturers can change our drug identification, let the farmer is not allowed to use of antibiotics to promote animal growth.Second, registered veterinary need to use human antibiotics on animals when sign, this is a big change, mean farmers think of getting some kind of antibiotics, must need a veterinary prescription.This will change the situation before, because before many antibiotics are prescribed, farmers in the local pharmacy can buy.
Question two:Why is difficult to prohibit livestock antibiotics?
many commentators say such rules no enforcement.First of all, the new rules for drug company willing to adapt to the new policy, this is not mandatory to comply with, it is conceivable that for pharmaceutical companies to volunteer to give up such large sales.
In addition, about "none_therapeutic use" and "therapeutic use” between, actually very fuzzy boundaries.Because they are essentially within the scope of the daily use of antibiotics to animals.Ranchers completely, so to speak, they are to the animal disease prevention and use of antibiotics, rather than to give them gain weight.
In short, every a rules into law after several years.And to make these rules into real law is often more difficult.Many people predicted that such provisions in congress will die.And still when use of antibiotics in animal husbandry, the acceleration of resistance is threatening human health.Before an antibiotic resistant often require 10 to 20 years, now a cycle of antibiotic resistance is often only a few years.Human health is under a great threat.
