Effects of bacterial infections on poultry production

In general, antibiotics are used in phytosanitary treatments, fish farming, animal feed, and human or veterinary medicine where they can be used as a preventive or curative treatment.
Strictly following the usage guidelines, the poultry industry uses antibiotics to improve meat production through increased feed conversion, growth rate promotion, and disease prevention.
While antibiotic resistance is a complex issue, the reasons antibiotics are a necessary and vital part of modern agriculture are simple, straightforward, and guided by the belief that antibiotics must always be used responsibly.
Antibiotics help make food safe by keeping chickens healthy and reducing bacteria entering the food supply.
Proper use of antibiotics helps keep chickens healthy and minimizes the impact on the environment.
