The company that supplies 3.5 million chickens to Britons every week, a third
of the nation鈥檚 quota, is to stop routinely feeding them antibiotics. The
Grampian Country Food Group of Aberdeen took the decision after conducting a
6-month experiment on 1.5 million chickens: the birds grew just as well without
the drugs. Grampian hopes the ban will ease fears about antibiotic-resistant
鈥渟uperbugs鈥� emerging on farms. 鈥淲e think the public will appreciate our
efforts,鈥� says Philip Hopley of Grampian鈥檚 agriculture division.
