U.S. farmers refuse demands to reduce the use of antibiotics in Europe

American farmers abandon claims to reduce the use of antibiotics.

80% of all antibiotics produced in the U.S. is used in animal husbandry. Antibiotics fed to animals for the prevention of diseases prevalent in large American farms, but most importantly - antibiotics accelerate weight capacity of animals. In the U.S., antibiotics are allowed to use in any dose and for any purpose, reports FoodControl citing BBC. With regard to agriculture, farm owners decide everything. Only half of them follow medical recommendations on the use of such drugs.

According to the USDA, less than half the milk producers to comply with recommendations on the use of veterinary antibiotics. Thus, dairy products from the United States, too, fall into the category of hazardous and Europeans are reluctant to allow them to their markets. It is assumed that the antibiotics found in meat and milk, contribute to obesity, which in some countries, including the United States itself, has already become an epidemic. How long will the Europeans be able to resist the domination of American agricultural products, stuffed with American antibiotics? American farmers have flatly refused to meet the wishes of Europeans persistently imposing their will.
