Are cattle, pigs, chickens not given antibiotics to fatten them up? 60%-70% of antibiotics sold in this country are given to livestock.

Sometimes they are given antibiotics depending on stage of growth. Cattle and pigs on the finishing ration don’t get antibiotics. I raise cattle and never give any antibiotics unless I have a pneumonia case to treat.
