Confessions of the Sheep/Beef Cattle/Pig Addicts

I don’t know anything about them.

Proper sheep

Keeps any transit infections at bay. Cleans scalded/rotted feet up . Allegedly

Don’t do it myself but know some that do.

I know of a man who used to buy all the half dead crap from the north. He swore blind by half a ml of magic Mike each as they arrived home. God he bought some shite at times

Store lambs would probably be no dearer on the week at Longtown, mibie even a shade cheaper. Lots of lambs about the now, folk are getting them moved on if grass is going...
Averaged £103 for texels about 40kg .

Wasn’t the dose rate 1ml/40kg, I don’t quite remember now?
If so, they would have been some little shites.

It would nip any pasteurella in the bud, as well as any foot infections (inc CODD I suspect), and you’d see their feet again if they were going on clean grass.

Be crazy money now though, with the vet having to do the jagging!

I doubt he was buying it from the vet...

Oh they were rum buggers. More below 15kg than over
Knowing the man I very much doubt it came from the vet.
He’s retired now after making a lot of money over the years!

The day when antibiotics no longer work may be with us very soon if those practices continue and unfortunately it will bring us all down. Antibiotic resistance is a looming animal and public health crisis and we're all contributing but these guys more than others.

Yes some are drinking water full of antibiotics and it’s not coming from farms it’s coming from people

Thats another big problem but doesnt excuse overuse in farming - we need to get our act together or we'll loose them altogether.

We have got our act together. Ag uses a fraction of the ab that used to be used. Doctors are the problem.

Yes well you have your point but that’s not where the problem is in the main part
Putting all the sick people in one place with a throughput of folks that never ends is what causes resistance. That’s why we clean out cattle sheds and hens need break periods.
There’s that much hormone in the water off folks the boys will become girls in a few generations and it’s all off folk not animals
Have a think about this

Who told you that?
Was it a doctor by any chance

The way doctors and people take antibiotics would worry me far more than farm use…

Absolutely. You wouldn’t put every sick animal in one shed and keep putting them in there for a lifetime either. You would breed a superbug which is what they’ve done

Doctors aren't the problem!

UK antibiotics use in food production - in other words FARMING is down 55% since 2014.

The industry has got it's act together - it's the human population useage of antibiotics which is out of control

Food production antibiotic sales drop to record low

The 2021 UK Veterinary Antimicrobial Resistance and Sales Surveillance report shows the volume of antibiotics sold for use in food-producing animals has dropped

Doctors aren't the problem!

They are when they are abusing medicine then blaming everyone else when it bites them on the arse. Then the BMA withdraws the same antibiotics they have abused for farm use

Reading and listening to Vets and other farmers mainly.

Resistance is in hospitals not farms.
Wonder why that is?
