Animal Drugs and National Security.

Abstract

The necessity for increased food production to meet the requirements of a rapidly expanding world population has stimulated extensive research designed to control diseases of animals and plants, increase yields, and improve the nutritional quality of food products. The use of coccidiostats in chickens and turkeys; diethylstilbestrol (DES) in cattle; and the use of low-level antibiotics are good examples of animal drugs' contribution to an increased food supply for the nation. These drug entities have made an important contribution to our national food supply and the security of the nation. Each of these will be discussed in this paper.
