CAFos and Public Health: The Fate of Unabsorbed Antibiotics
نویسنده
چکیده
Note: Traditionally, the term “antibiotic” refers to compounds that are made by microorganisms, usually yeast or bacteria, and kill other microorganisms (e.g., penicillin). Similar compounds that are synthetic or semi-synthetic are more commonly referred to “antibacterials” or “antimicrobials” (e.g., carbadox). Both are used in food animal production, and, for the purpose of this paper, will be grouped simply as “antibiotics.”

CAFos and Public Health: Risks associated with welfare friendly farming
In-feed Antibiotics Conventional poultry farming systems often include subtherapeutic amounts of antibiotics in the feed to prevent disease and improve production performance. In contrast, organic poultry producers can not, by law, include antibiotics in the feed. Interestingly, advocates for both organic and conventionally raised poultry have each claimed that the absence or presence of in-fe...
متن کاملPigs in Space: Determining the Environmental Justice Landscape of Swine Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) in Iowa
Given the primacy of Iowa in pork production for the U.S. and global markets, we sought to understand if the same relationship with traditional environmental justice (EJ) variables such as low income and minority populations observed in other concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) studies exists in the relationship with swine CAFO densities in Iowa. We examined the potential for spatial c...

Waste from agricultural livestock operations has been a long-standing concern with respect to contamination of water resources, particularly in terms of nutrient pollution. However, the recent growth of concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) presents a greater risk to water quality because of both the increased volume of waste and to contaminants that may be present (e.g., antibiotics a...

متن کاملComparing the Efficiency of UV/TiO2 and UV/O3 Processes in Degradation of Sulfonamide Antibiotics in Aquatic Solution
Background and purpose: Emerging pollutants such as antibiotics are resistant to biodegradation. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of photocatalytic and Ozonation photolysis on decomposition of Sulfonamide antibiotics (Sulfacetamide, Sulfathiazole, Sulfamethoxazole, and Sulfadiazine) in aquatic environments. Materials and methods: In this study, experiments were conducted discont...
