A law recently approved by the European Parliament provides for stricter requirements for the use of antibiotics in livestock.

We are talking about countries that are part of the European Union. Starting in 2022, the use of antibiotics will be banned in the production of meat and dairy products, which affect the growth of marketable characteristics. There will also be an official ban on the use of such drugs in large quantities and for prevention.

“We approved this law in order to combat the antimicrobial resistance of meat and milk,” the EU board noted. - After all, it’s scary even to imagine that more than 25 thousand people in the countries of our continent become victims of infections resistant to antimicrobial vaccines every year. Unless efforts are made to change the situation and the amount of antibiotics and growth hormones in food is not limited, in the near future medicine will be powerless even against the most primitive diseases. ”

Refuse antibiotics completely in the field of animal husbandry will not. Their use will be advisable when performing operations or in individual cases. Farm owners will be able to resort to antibiotics if several animals get sick - to stop the virus.

“The situation is widespread in the EU countries. when the virus picks up one animal, and the entire livestock begins to treat, experts say. - We will control this problem. And we also plan to ban the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry with which people are treated. ”

To control the situation, EU veterinarians from 2022 will begin to report to the authorities on the sale of antimicrobial vaccines and tablets. And those drugs. which will be imported from other countries. will be rigorously tested for compliance with EU standards.
