Ban on drugs in feed would cost billions, lawmakers hear
More than 300 livestock feeders testified at an FDA hearing in Ames about restricting antibiotics in animal feed. Carl Reynolds of Milo estimated a $2 billion yearly cost and a 19 cent rise per pound of pork, while others warned it could curb meat output and raise veterinary and farm costs. The hearing examined medicated feed permits and veterinary supervision amid concerns linking animal antibiotic use to human bacterial resistance.
