Economic Impact of a Ban on the Use of Over-the-Counter Antibiotics
分析美国养猪业若禁用抗生素对生产流程和市场的影响，并借鉴瑞典案例预测可能的经济后果。
Because antibiotic drugs are widely used in starter, grower, finishing, and sow feeds, a ban on their use would impact pork production processes and practices, and therefore would have an economic impact on the U.S. pork industry and pork market. This study considers the economic effects of a ban in pork production, with no change of regulation on other meats. The authors examine the evidence from a range of cases from Sweden to describe what is most likely to occur if a ban on antibiotic drugs in pork production were to be implemented in the United States.
