美国普渡食品公司宣布鸡孵化场停用抗生素

    食品伙伴网讯  据美国食品安全新闻网消息，3日美国第三大鸡肉生产商普渡食品（Perdue Food）宣布，将在所有的鸡孵化场停用抗生素。公共卫生部门对此表示满意。

    据了解，自2007年以来普渡公司便不再将抗生素用于促进鸡的生长，并且未将人类抗生素用于饲料当中。该公司仅将抗生素用于控制肠寄生虫以及病鸡治病。

    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.
