What is antibiotic-fed protein?
Disease is always a danger when farm animals are overcrowded as they can be in some of today's industrialized agricultural systems. Animals in overcrowded situations are commonly fed low doses of antibiotics. Although no studies have been done specifically on pets, a recent issue of the New England Journal of Medicine warned that the maintenance use of antibiotics in animal feed may be sparking an increase in antibiotic resistant bacteria. We source our proteins from producers who do not use these maintenance antibiotics, but instead give their animals ample living space.
