The National Pork Producers Council is joining in a global initiative to create international standards and codes of practices to prevent unsafe residues of veterinary drugs in food.
The family-owned chicken producer was the first in the U.S. to eliminate the routine use of antibiotics from 100% of its broiler business in August 1998.
This study was designed to determine the antibiotic resistance patterns of Enterococcus sp. isolated from feedlot cattle supplemented with a novel direct-fed microbial (DFM) Lactobacillus salivarius (L28) in replacement of tylosin in finishing diets of feedlot steers.
