EU Bans Last Four Antibiotics In Animal Feed

An EU-wide ban on the use of antibiotics as growth promoters in animal feed came into effect on January 1, 2006. In the final step in the phasing out of antibiotics use in livestock feeding for non-medicinal purposes, the EU now forbids the use of monensin sodium, salinomycin sodium, avilamycin and flavophospholipol. The ban applies to domestic product and imports from all countries including the United States.
