On a related note, does the US have some restrictions on antibiotics usage in farms? I’d imagine it’s way more lenient. I wonder how they compare to the biggest abusers in the EU like Cyprus.

Also:

If it is said that :

“Under EU rules, the use of antimicrobials in livestock for growth or yield purposes is not allowed, nor can animals be treated with antimicrobials reserved for human infections.”

and

“Antimicrobial medicinal products shall not be applied routinely nor used to compensate for poor hygiene, inadequate animal husbandry or lack of care or to compensate for poor farm management”

Yet Cyprus still does that ?

Cyprus also relies more on preventive and mass medication compared to countries with higher animal welfare standards.
