The use of Antibiotics, Implants, and Feed Supplements... honestly it feels like the start of an awkward conversation. However, Dr. Michael Apley (KSU) unpacks these topics as we not only talk through the history of Antibiotics in our food animals, but also their purpose in today’s cattle industry… from both an animal efficiency point of view but also from an animal welfare perspective. Then we'll have a discussion on Implants being used and the narratives in our industry by both producers and consumers that tend create division.  Then we'll get into the uses and value of using Ionophores and Beta Agonists in our livestock feed.
