You are a vet, how long does an orally ingested antibiotic remain in the intramuscular system of a cow?

This statement smacks of Santorum-esque "In my heart I know this is true" -ism. Please give some sources to back up the assertion that superbugs are solely due to parental overuse of antibiotics on their children.

The use of antibiotics in food animals became necessary as more and more animals were jammed into smaller and smaller areas. If herd immunity worked the way you seem to think it does, factory farm animals should be healthier than free-range animals, not the other way around.

But I look forward to your sources, as I am always interested in learning something new.

It won't happen. It's a ridiculous statement with zero basis in physiologic reality.

What you pointed out, however, about why antibiotics are used, will necessarily cause changes in the common husbandry of cattle, poultry. This has been an idea whose time should have come decades ago, unfortunately. I'm glad to see it.

In KY, we raise beef cattle on the terrific, dense grass we have, we can have 40 per 100 acres. In western Texas, range cattle need 40 acres or so per cow, so feedlots are used to make it financially viable. That will have to change. That is a plus for regions like KY, TN, and a huge negative for Nebraska, Kansas, Texas where they use corn and silage rather than grass feeding.

Proof that you know absolutely nothing.
Overuse of antibiotics and over treatment of people do not have an effect on the target long term?
I am amazed.

you're barking up the wrong tree. people with large egos are never wrong. even though the title says 'outragus' we're just reading it wrong. it's certainly not spelled incorrectly. but when you're an ultra-intelligent scientist, spelling is for mere mortals i guess.

don't question Riot. She's a scientist.

You have nothing but snark. Good luck with that.

you're a fucl<ing vet. You're not a global climate scientist like you pretended in the other thread. and you are not an expert antibiotic use in humans.

I have a fucl<ing BS in Animal Science. That makes me a scientist just like you.

I have never pretended to be a global climate scientist - what are you smoking?

And yes, I am an expert on antibiotics, and use, and yes, that includes use in animals that are eaten by humans. That's exactly what a DVM confers.

I have a fucl<ing BS in Animal Science. That makes me a scientist just like you.

Good for you! That's quite an accomplishment.

Now go read the definition of scientist, because it's not what you think it is.

No. It's misuse of antibiotics, not overuse. The know-nothing isn't on this side of the keyboard. Small but important technicality the google-experts here fail to comprehend (you might read the articles you post)

You look ridiculous in your ignorance.

And laughably, you say this occurs in humans with a simple stomach, but in the same thread you deny the same can happen in a cow simply because they are a ruminant.

It's clear you don't have any knowledge of pharmacology and physiology other than dinner-table conversation.

Is over prescription a misuse?

Never mind, asking a question of you and expecting an answer is a complete fkn waste of time.

Where do I say that ruminants are immune? Your reading comprehension and insertion of thoughts and theories into other peoples posts is hilarious.
You are a fool.

Yes, get mad, curse at me, blame me, and walk away feeling self-rightous.

Just stop posting ridiculous medical comments as if they had some remote basis in reality.

And you continue the age old method of never answering a question, keeps everyone entertained and laughing at you.
I will stop posting links from respected sources that prove my points and my complete lack of knowledge.

The decision that it is cheaper and simpler to treat the herd vs. treating the animal is what has gone wrong in farms. The thought that these treatments would trickle all the way through and have an effect on humans is what I questioned.

My wife is a research biologist in pharmaceuticals and despite the evil that goes along with such a post, this is pretty common knowledge in the research community, along with those that opt out of vaccines. She did her dissertation on this specific problem along with her thesis on the effect on ruminants in particular. I was studying human digestion at the same time in anatomy and was surprised to learn how similar the parts were, hence my interest in what she was up to.

Your original statement, though, was that the rise in superbugs was entirely due to overprescription by pediatricians to children, because their parents demanded it. That's what I was challenging. I don't disagree that overuse and misuse are a problem; I just think the blame falls more on adult misuse, both here and overseas (where there is a real lack of regulation) than on pediatricians and demanding parents. Mind you, I'm a sample size of one, but my toddler's totally awesome doc won't prescribe unless necessary. He just got through a bout with hand foot mouth disease and treatment was Motrin and popsicles.

For what it's worth, misuse in livestock is also considered a cause:

And it's not just a case of it's in what you consume from the animal; the antibiotics also end up in our soil and water supply because they're excreted in the animal waste and many states don't exactly have strong regulations about the disposal of the massive amounts of waste the factory farms produce.

Thanks also for posting a link to an article on the importance of vaccination. The anti-vax movement seems to be one of the few where one can genuinely say, "both sides do it" as I know both libs and cons who have no problem taking health care advice from a former Playboy Playmate.

Which is indeed a silly statement, with zero basis in physiology.
