Chicken can be found on the table in almost every family. It is a popular food item due to its availability, low cost, and high protein content. However, many people are beginning to wonder what substances are in the meat they eat. In particular, the presence of antibiotics in chicken meat has recently begun to be discussed.
Antibiotics are used in animal husbandry to prevent and treat infections in animals. They help prevent the spread of disease, improve animal health and increase productivity. However, the use of antibiotics can lead to the development of bacteria that become resistant to them. This can make antibiotics no longer effective in treating infections in humans.
In the US, it has been found that about 80% of all antibiotics sold are used in livestock. This is a concern for many people, especially those who monitor their health and take antibiotics only as prescribed by a doctor.
According to studies conducted in different countries, chicken contains antibiotics. However, the amount of antibiotics may vary depending on the country of production and animal husbandry practices. Some manufacturers adhere to strict rules and do not use antibiotics as a growth stimulant, but only to treat diseases. However, other producers may use antibiotics in large quantities to speed up the growth of chickens and save on costs.
What can be done to reduce the amount of antibiotics in chicken? First of all, you can choose products from manufacturers that do not use antibiotics as growth stimulants. You can also pay attention to the labeling of products and choose those that do not contain antibiotics. In addition, proper storage and preparation of chicken should be monitored to ensure that it is safe to eat.
In conclusion, antibiotics in chicken are a concern for many people. Although the use of antibiotics may be necessary for the prevention and treatment of disease in animals, it is important to choose products from manufacturers that do not use antibiotics as growth promoters and to ensure proper storage and preparation of chicken. In this way, we can reduce the amount of antibiotics in our food and maintain the effectiveness of antibiotics in treating infections in humans.
