Good article and interesting the example of Campylobacter. The use of antibiotic in animal nutrition needs careful consideration due to many associated benefits and health hazards, thus one has to be aware of the factors related to the use of therapeutic use of antibiotic to decide the right type and dose, and duration.al nutrition needs careful consideration due to many assocated benefits and health hazards.
A very good article about the use of antibiotic in animal nutrition I would however caution to take examples of specific resistances in specific bacteria and based upon the lack of direct correlation between animal use+bacteria+resistance with human situation+bacteria+resistance say there is no direct evidence of problems. This ignores the bacterial commensal pool of bacteria and transmission of resistances between bacterial species such as E. coli and Salmonella. Furthermore, having worked over 10 years in California and seeing many calves die in bloody diarrhoea associated with MDR untreatable Salmonella.. I would like to point out that antimicrobial resistance due to heavy indiscriminate use is an animal welfare problem!
a very good article about antibiotic in animal nutrition indicating a future new approach to combat disease resistance bacteria. Homeopathy drugs surely be a asset to this issue. for example- chronic repiratory disease instead of using tylosin as drug, homeopathic drugs like ACONITE 200 AND ANTIMONY TARTARATE200 can be used .like wise GELESMIUM30 ,KAL PHOS , ACONITE 200 ETC CAN BE USED
A very good point of about the use of Antibiotics in Veterinary Medicine. This sort of understanding of the problem of antibiotic resistance needs to be presented to many veterinarians, doctors, and laypersons.
Antibiotic in animal nutrition has no adverse effect on human medicine, even though animal drugs are much more stronger with higher concentration than that of human, it is helpful in eradicating diseases in animals which can in turn infect human.

Good article about the use of antibiotic in animal nutrition.This remind us those in Veterinary medicine and in animal production to insist adherence on the withdrawal period,biosecurity and avoid of drug abuse.
