Subject: Antibiotic use in animals

Jane Henney MD 

Commissioner 

FDA 



Dear Dr Henney 



Please make sure that the FDA insists that accurate data on antibiotic use in animals is mandatory. 



The USA uses over 24 million pounds of antibiotics per year simply to make domestic animals grow faster. In Sweden this is illegal. 



I urgently request that you look into this vital problem which may affect the health of our children and grandchildren for years to come. 




Sincerely 



June P. Brady MD, MPH
