[QUOTE="johnspeehs, post: 6772566, member: 442"] Was at a course last night on proper use of antibiotics as it is now part of fqs here and the vet was saying drugs like Baytril , Marbocel and A180 will be off the market pretty soon. I was interested in what they were saying and the ways we could reduce use of antibiotics but was amazed chatting to a lot of other farmers there who said it was just a box ticking exercise for them and it would be business as usual with regards to how much antibiotics they use. Basically what the instructor was saying that treating individual animals is still a real necessity, treating groups of animals is ok in an outbreak of say enzootic abortion but that just jabbing a compete flock of ewes at say 120 days because you think it might stop abortion starting isn't a good enough reason to do it. A lot of farmers in this area are in for a shock in the near future if they don't start changing their ways, this is just the tip of the iceberg id say. [/QUOTE]
