Question 4

Discuss the use of antimicrobials in meat.

Accepted Answer

(will vary) Antimicrobials that are similar or identical to those used by humans are employed for disease prevention and growth enhancement among animals. Four examples of the numerous common antimicrobials that have been approved in the United States for administration to food animals are amoxicillin, penicillin, bacitracin, and erythromycin. In addition, sulfonamide and several other antimicrobials sometimes are administered to farm-raised fish. In a procedure known as metaphylaxis, antimicrobials are given to an entire collection of animals, for example, chickens on a poultry farm or fish raised in pens, for the purpose of curing disease among sick animals and preventing disease among the remainder. Regarding the use of antimicrobials for growth enhancement of animals (with the exception of farmed fish), antimicrobials increase the efficiency of feeding by reducing the amount of feed that animals require.
