As a result, in 1998, a report on antimicrobial resistance published by the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee recommended that fluoroquinolones no longer be permitted for mass medication in farm animals, and be restricted to individual treatments only. Such a ban would effectively have meant the antibiotics could not have been used in poultry, since they are only used for mass medication in that species.
