Chicken eggs are a product that we often use in our diet. However, not everyone knows that some manufacturers may use antibiotics in feeding chickens. This can lead to antibiotics getting into the eggs and into our bodies.
In this article, we will talk about which antibiotics can be used in chicken feeding, how they get into eggs and how this can affect our health.
Antibiotics in chicken feeding
Antibiotics can be used in chicken feeding to prevent and treat diseases. Some producers may use antibiotics as a growth stimulant to increase the performance of hens.
The list of antibiotics that can be used in chicken feeding is quite extensive. However, the most commonly used antibiotics are tetracycline, erythromycin, lincomycin, and amikacin.
How antibiotics get into eggs
Antibiotics can get into the eggs through the blood of the chicken. When a hen eats food containing antibiotics, they get into her bloodstream and can then get into her eggs.
In addition, antibiotics can get into eggs through the intestinal microflora of chickens. When a chicken consumes antibiotics, they destroy not only harmful bacteria, but also beneficial intestinal microflora. This can lead to new types of bacteria in the gut that can survive in the presence of antibiotics. These bacteria can enter eggs through the intestines of chickens.
Impact of antibiotics on health
Getting antibiotics into our body through the use of eggs can lead to various health problems. For example, it can lead to the development of allergic reactions, disruption of the intestines, and even the development of resistance to antibiotics.
In addition, eating eggs with antibiotics can cause us to become less sensitive to antibiotics in the treatment of diseases. This is due to the fact that our body can develop resistance to the antibiotics that we consume with food.
How to avoid eating eggs with antibiotics
To avoid eating eggs with antibiotics, you should pay attention to the labeling of eggs. The packaging should indicate whether the chickens have been fed antibiotics.
You should also pay attention to the origin of the eggs. Eggs from local producers may be safer than eggs from large producers.
In conclusion, eating eggs with antibiotics can lead to various health problems. To avoid this, you should pay attention to the labeling of eggs and the origin of the product.
