I hope these laws work or we will all be screwed eventually. We feed our animals garlic, but have needed the occasional antibiotic for bad infections.

I remember when we started using Tamworths, not only were the sows able and willing to shred coyotes, but the piglets contracted nothing that couldn't be prevented with sunshine, fresh straw and plenty of alfalfa pasture. Unfortunately our efforts to set the industry back sixty years came to naught. collieguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10298533259335227324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-68017159006395538712013-12-14T13:06:47.887-05:002013-12-14T13:06:47.887-05:00When we were on the farm we used very little antib...When we were on the farm we used very little antibiotics other than what the vet used a time or two. Never medicated anything that was going to cross our table either! Our children were raised pretty much the same - only the mandatory injections required to attend school - and they are all healthy thriving adults - so-oooo.<br />Myself, I'm highly reactive to drugs, they call it chemical hypersensativity - and it means hives with every antibiotic - which I am just getting over a bad case of hives because of an antibiotic given when I had a cyst removed from my back three weeks ago. <br />And I do believe 'we' get carried away when it comes to drugs - people seem to think if a little helps a whole lot more is better!<br />Maybe it's the whole 'super-size it' mentality, but we do too much of it!!Patty@inStitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18008067462064666901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-27450771842906719272013-12-14T12:11:22.228-05:002013-12-14T12:11:22.228-05:00Not for antibiotics in feed, but sure am for them ...Not for antibiotics in feed, but sure am for them when we have a sick animal that would die otherwise....Weekend cowgirlhttp://weekendcowgirl.com/noreply@blogger.com
