NCBA watching Congress, FDA on antibiotics

It doesn’t appear that legislation in Congress to limit antibiotics use is going anywhere in 2010. But NCBA chief veterinarian Dr. Elizabeth Parker says proponents of the measure aren’t going away.  And Parker says she is just as concerned with recent moves by the FDA to get more involved in the antibiotics issue.  She tells Brownfield the impact of tougher restrictions on the cattle industry would be huge.
