Swine growth promotion with antibiotics or alternatives can increase antibiotic resistance gene mobility potential
Abstract Even though the use of antibiotics for food-producing animals may contribute to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance, antibiotics are still used as growth promoters. Due to consumer and regulatory pressures, the use of alternatives to antibiotics as growth promoters is increasing, thus...
