Vieira comes to me and says, “Robin, how are you? Listen Robin, play like you train, you are showing all of us you are a great footballer. It is your time to take over from Dennis [Bergkamp]. I am behind you, I will run for you, I will give you the ball”.‘I was like, “Wow, I just lost ten kilos [of pressure]”.

Letter to editor: Antibiotics is important for the protection of farm animals and our food supply
Editor’s note: The following was a letter e-mailed by Justina Metz, Sumner County Farm Bureau Association Coordinator. If you wish to submit a letter to the editor, e-mail us at sumnernewscow@gmail.com or send it to our address at Sumner Newscow, P.O. Box 755, Wellington, Kans., 67152. To the Editor: Antibiotic use on farm animals has made the headlines lately. It’s often reported that they are used haphazardly and without thought or consequent. This could not be further from the truth.Antibiotics are an important tool that help protect not only farm animals but our food supply. We don’t have health insurance for our animals. Farmers work with veterinarians hand in hand, and they are prescribed only when necessary. Just as parents don’t immediately give antibiotics to their children, farmers don’t treat animals with antibiotics until there’s a medical need. Without the ability to use antibiotics, innocent animals would die from basic, treatable conditions.Something else we’d like to remind folks is whether your food label says “antibiotic free†or not, any meat you purchase is completely free of antibiotic residue. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration mandates that all beef processed for consumption must be free of antibiotics. The government agency has inspectors in processing plants across the country, testing beef samples for any trace of antibiotics or antibiotic residue. If any level is detected, the entire animal is discarded completely. It’s a rigid and straightforward process that ensures consumers always receive antibiotic-free beef products.Kansas farmers take great pride in providing the best. Antibiotics help us treat our animals humanely while keeping our food supply safe and stable.Sumner County Farm Bureau board of directorsFollow us on Twitter.

Routinely adding antibiotics to the animals food supply is where the bigger problem lies. Report Reply 0 replies · active 243 weeks ago +2 Vote up Vote down Maggie · 243 weeks ago If I have a child with a strep infection or a cow with mastitis, then yes, antibiotics ARE a good thing, but it simply is not true that antibiotics are only ever given to livestock in response to a specific individual medical need. Medicated feeds have been in common use for many years. I don’t think anybody objects to treating an illness with the appropriate antibiotics, but the use of medicated feeds is rather more like putting prophylactic antibiotics in our children’s breakfast cereal.
