Pullet flinging mucus WHILE getting Tylan 50 injections

Thank you, but that still doesn't answer my question.

Using Baytril in food animals could make the drug human drug Cipro ineffective against some bacteria, which would be bad.

Maybe someone else can do a better job explaining it.

Dangers for Eggs & Meat

One study found that eggs and meat cleared of Baytril just 5 days after chickens stopped receiving the medicine, but other studies haven't always concurred, and no official withdrawal time is listed in the U.S.

There are other serious concerns that have caused Baytril to be banned in the US from use in poultry used for eggs or meat.

• When exposed to Baytril, Campylobacter bacteria may become resistant to Cipro, a primary medicine used for treating people infected with food poisoning or urinary tract infections. If this bacteria is in a chicken and is not killed during cooking of eggs or meat from a chicken that EVER took Baytril, a person eating the food might not be able to be treated successfully with Cipro.

Thank you, you have proven the point I was going to make which is: the effects on the individual who chooses to eat the eggs or meat from a bird treated with Baytril are non-existent (assuming one observes the withdrawal period). Widespread use within the poultry industry could result in the development of drug resistant strains of bacteria, but you are not going to get sick from continuing to eat the eggs from your backyard flock after treating with Baytril.

Thanks, I actually scored quite high on reading comprehension on standardized tests, my reply to your first post was submitted before I saw your second post.

I guess it's a good thing I don't eat my eggs or chicken raw. Phew!!
