Indiscriminate use of Drugs in the poultry

A CSE study in 2014 had revealed that indiscriminate use of Drugs in the poultry is also one of the key reasons of growing antibiotic resistance in humans. The seriousness of the issue echoes in fact that we are changing the entire microbiota by irrational use of antibiotics.

Here are some important facts:

• Antibiotics that are important to treat diseases in humans, like ciprofloxacin, being rampantly used by the poultry industry
• Currently, we have no regulation on control of antibiotics use in the poultry industry.
• Currently, there is no limit set for antibiotic residues in Chicken.
