Many of us consume meat in our daily diet without thinking about how it was produced and processed. One of the problems that has become relevant in recent years is the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry. This can have negative health consequences for people who consume such meat.
Antibiotics are used in animal husbandry to prevent and treat diseases in animals. However, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), this practice can lead to the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria that can be transmitted to humans through meat. This means that when infected with infectious bacteria, treatment may not be effective or even possible due to the bacteria's resistance to antibiotics.
In addition, the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry can lead to environmental pollution, as they can end up in soil and water. This can negatively affect the health of animals and people who live in nearby areas.
As a result, some countries ban the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry or impose strict rules on their use. The European Union, for example, bans the use of antibiotics to promote growth in animals, and also bans certain categories of antibiotics to prevent disease in animals.
How can you protect yourself from meat-related antibiotic resistance? First, you should choose meat from producers who do not useantibiotics in their practice. Secondly, you need to cook the meat properly to kill all bacteria. For example, meat should be well-done or cooked to a temperature sufficient to kill bacteria.
In conclusion, the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry can have serious implications for human health. Therefore, it is important to monitor how the meat we eat is produced and take steps to protect our health.
