    The EU that is about to reduce antibiotic use, while the UK says it will not.

    What do you two think you're going to resolve? How's this argument going to end?

      Let's go back to your first post:

      1. The EU does not prevent the UK from banning the use of all antibiotics.
      2. The EU is bringing in a ban on antibiotics - but at least one product - ionophores - will still be allowed. Therefore the EU ban is not 100% all antibiotics.
      3. The UK is not going to implement the EU ban mentioned in point 2.
      4. The US does not have a ban on all antibiotics, quite the opposite. Chickopedia: What Consumers Need to Know

          I particularly like this statement from the above link

          "Even if a chicken is given antibiotics in the course of its life to treat or prevent disease, the bird must go through a withdrawal time before leaving the farm"

          The chickens have to go 'Cold Turkey' before leaving the farm to ensure they are antibiotic free.

            Do they live long enough for that process to be effective?

              You know what. I don't care. Just the thought of a chicken going 'Cold Turkey' amuses me. Possibly you need to keep chickens to find that one amusing

                It was amusing but considering the lifecycle of your average "Born to be eaten" supermarket chicken - the one I would suggest that would most likely be subject to this regime - they don't live very long in the first place.

                  If you don't care about the antibiotics that the US puts into its poultry, then why are you claiming they have banned them?

                  What I find amusing is when they peck my trousers, or when Ruby (one of the 4 new ones we rehomed last week) purrs after laying.

                    That's chicken for "Ow, my arse!".

                      I am guessing you actually believe the rubbish you post.
