[Guest guest]

Not necessary, and potentially harmful, too. I can't buy meat from one

particular store because there's so much penicillian in it that I hive up every

time I eat it. Totally bizarre.

ANTIBIOTICS IN ANIMAL FEED NOT NECESSARY

(Health News: 4/12/2002)

Using antibiotics as growth promoters does not boost farm

productivity as

much as good animal husbandry - which has the added benefit of

reducing

antibiotic resistance, a leading researcher told a medical conference

in

Australia.

This is a potential nightmare, poorly controlled use of ABs

producing resistant bugs.
