Title: | Antibiotic resistance in the livestock industry |
Description: | Animals with a bacterial infection can be treated with antibiotics. But the more often antibiotics are used, the more likely bacteria are to develop resistance to them. These superbugs can be transmitted to people. And it can be difficult to treat people with a superbug infection. That is why strict rules apply to the use of antibiotics in livestock farming. |
