Farmers are also said to be violating the withdrawal period which requires birds fed antibiotics to be quarantined for a period before being sold. Over-the-counter sales of antibiotics, over-prescription and self-administration in poultry farms all contribute to spreading drug-resistance in humans. ...
They are fed a diet of 100 percent organic feed products; they do not receive hormones to promote growth, nor are they given antibiotics for any reason, although they may be given vaccinations as preventative care. These methods are significantly different from conventional farming methods. Before...
It's true that cows and chickens get sick occasionally and require antibiotics to get them back on their clucking and mooing ways. Unfortunately, most of the animals being given a near-daily dose of drugs are perfectly healthy, which is where the problem lies. In the U.S. and Canada, ...
“mystery diseases” we experience today are linked to what is done to our food. In other words, grain-fed cows are generally given a diet of antibiotics and hormones to try to keep them healthy, and put on a ton of weight, while grass-fed animals are simply eating grass, living life...
Insects are also very, very good at converting food into edible tissue—about twice as efficient as chickens and pigs, and more than five times as efficient as beef cattle. Jarrod estimates that between his three facilities in Toronto, Next Millennium can produce thousands of pounds of edible ...
I doubt we will ever know the full truth of how massive Avian Bird Flu outbreaks begin, but if I were to gamble money, I'd say it has its origins in ticks/mosquitoes/fleas like most other diseases, and our society can't handle millions of chickens and turkeys being culled... which ...

it takes half as much food as you’d give to pigs and chickens and a twelfth as much as cattle to get the same amount of cricket protein on the far side of the abattoir. if earth might have to feed 9 billion people in the coming decades, insects are what’s for...
their hens poorly, and when the animals you eat are poorly cared for, your body tallies these inhumanities in the form of reduced nutritional value–for lack of sunlight and adequate feed–or increased toxic exposure–from antibiotics used to accelerate weight gain in chronically stressed chickens...
