Summary:

Considers whether increased restrictions and prohibitions by U.S. trading partners on use of certain drugs in animal feed could affect or may already be affecting international trade in beef, pork, and poultry products from U.S. and other countries that do not actively restrict use of these drugs for growth promotion in animal production. Discusses possible implications for U.S. livestock and poultry exports and U.S. market share in global meat markets, including examination of scenarios where U.S. continues to allow unrestricted antimicrobial use and where U.S. establishes corresponding restrictions on antimicrobial use.
