美國普渡食品公司宣布雞孵化場停用抗生素

    食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  據(jù)美國食品安全新聞網(wǎng)消息，3日美國第三大雞肉生產(chǎn)商普渡食品（Perdue Food）宣布，將在所有的雞孵化場停用抗生素。公共衛(wèi)生部門對此表示滿意。

    據(jù)了解，自2007年以來普渡公司便不再將抗生素用于促進雞的生長，并且未將人類抗生素用于飼料當中。該公司僅將抗生素用于控制腸寄生蟲以及病雞治病。

    Perdue Foods, the third-largest chicken producer in the country, is setting a high bar for antibiotics preservation on farms, and the public health community is pleased.

    At a press conference Wednesday in Washington, D.C., the company announced that it has stopped using antibiotics in all of its chicken hatcheries.

    Perdue has not used antibiotics for growth promotion since 2007 and doesn't use any human antibiotics in any of their feed. The company does use an animal-only antibiotic to control an intestinal parasite and uses antibiotics to treat and control illness in sick flocks.
