Impact of Medicated Feed on Development of Antimicrobial-Resistant Bacteria in Integrated Pig-Fish Farms
Researchers in Viet Nam have found evidence that tetracycline and enrofloxacin added to pig feeds led to the development of resistance in bacteria in the water and pond sediments in combined pig-fish farms.
