Weekly Overview: Human Risk from Salmonella Unrelated to Farm Use of Antibiotics

2013-02-04 01:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News

ANALYSIS - The risk to humans from multi-drug resistant (MDR) Salmonella is the same as from non-multi-resistant strains and has little to do with the use of antimicrobials on the farm, according to an Iowa State University professor. A new survey reveals that global pig feed tonnage in 2012 was 218 million tonnes in 2012, eight per cent higher than the previous year. In North America, a new type of Brachyspira is being blamed for the recent rise in cases of swine dysentery.
