Q There is controversy about the wide, non-selective use of antibiotics in livestock. There is also controversy about the impact livestock antibiotic use may play in antibiotic resistance. Locate at least two websites about antibiotic use in livestock that describe both sides of the issue (for and against use of antibiotics in livestock). You do not have to report these sites to your fellow students unless you want to include them for their use. Also read the yellow boxed information on page 573 in the text book. After looking at some of the arguments on both sides, discuss the following: Do you think a US band is warranted?. Would you be willing to pay more for your food as a result? Do you think livestock use is contributing to antibiotic resistance?
