3 Student Researchers Quantitative

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Because of the alleged harmful consequences of antibiotic resistance on human health, there is growing demand to decrease or abolish the use of antibiotics in poultry feed (Javandel et al., 2008). A nationwide regulation prohibiting the use of antibiotics in poultry is in place in the United States (USDA, 2005). As a result, poultry farmers are exploring for antibiotic alternatives that are less expensive and have less side e...
