Hello,

I am writing to ask if the FDA will be making an effort to start
tracking anti-biotic use in agriculture and farming, particularly
in the raising of food animals (cows, pigs, chickens, etc).

This is a growing problem, as seen by the rise in untreatable
diseases and infections which result from overmedicated animals
which end up on our dinner plates.

There seems to me to be very little reason to feed healthy animals
medications, and an FDA effort to monitor this would be a good use
of the agency's resources.

Thank you.
