Antibiotics are commonly used to prevent and treat diseases, but their overuse or misuse may lead to antibiotic resistance in cattle. Resistance to antibiotics occurs when bacteria evolve to survive exposure to drugs that are meant to kill the bacteria, and it can have severe consequences for animal and human health. Antibiotics must be used responsibly in the beef industry to protect the health of animals and humans. In this episode, Dr. Brian Lubbers discusses antibiotic use and resistance in beef production. He also shares his experience about training and teaching undergrad students.
