antibiotic use in livestock farming

WHO calls for the reduction of antibiotic use in livestock farming

The World Health Organization (WHO) raised awareness yesterday to stop the preventive use of antibiotics in livestock farming. Although preventive efforts have been made in the Netherlands for years, there are still certain steps to be taken, according to Mark Schippers, owner of MS Schippers. "We must give our farmers the compliments they deserve; with 70 percent reduction since 2009 and the elimination of the preventive use of antibiotics, we're definitely on the right track, but we're not there yet. "
