What is the total antibiotic impact; what happens to all antibiotics administered through feed or direct injection (or any other method) regarding their presence in animal waste?
There will be no antibiotics administered through the feed and no non-therapeutic use of antibiotics applied in any manner. We recognize that those are standard practices throughout the industry, but Bion’s facilities will not use them. Any antibiotics used for sick cattle will be administered under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian and consistent with label and other requirements. In addition, no animals will be harvested until the antibiotics are fully metabolized and no tissue residue remains.
