INTRODUCTION
Antibiotic resistance in the food animal production is considered as the important part
human public systems. It is the clear that the use of antibiotics in food animal production has
been elicited a major concern about the detail threat of antimicrobial resistance. there is need of
the high development of the antibiotic resistance which have involvement of various mechanism.
Suh as there is imperative that’s antibiotic can be used more appropriately not in the animal
agricultures but also in population of human. The antibiotic resistance has been produces s
naturally via random mutation and natural selection. The natural selection has been identified as
the proves in which an individual has adaptive traits which is considered to be better in surveying
and reproducing in environment as comparative to whom who are lacking the trait of
adaptiveness.
MAIN BODY
Antibiotics are the specific drugs which fights against the infection in human and animals by a
bacterium. They have prevention with bacteria as by killing the or making difficult for specific
bacteria in order to grow and multiply. The growth of harmful bacteria in animal food products.
The antibiotic has been used as abiotic drugs which are used in food production in order to have
treatment over bacterial infection. They have the work by preventing the growth of harmful
bacteria in animal food products (Ayukekbong, Ntemgwa, and Atabe,., 2017). The antibiotics in
animal food products are been used since 1940 as n farms like cow, pigs and poultry in order to
have proper treatment of infection and prevention of spreading the illness. The animals feed has
been added with low doses o antibiotics in order to have promotion towards growth. The
reduction of the use of antibiotics in the food animal production has been turned out as the
significant goals of producers. The livestock producers have the significant goals careful
treatment protocols, withdrawal periods and testing procedures to ensure that animal products are
not contaminated with antibiotic residues. This refers to have large amount of food production in
terms of meat or milk in short period of time. The antibiotic has been used in low doses in order
to have reduction of animal deaths and improve the level of production. The intensive production
system has been identified as the increased issues of problems I order to have resistance in health
of human that will directly of interstudy increase the level of resistance. The unsystematic is of
the antibiotics in the food producing animals which have lead to emergence and dissemination
of antibiotic resistance bacteria through the different ways that is food chain, direct contact and
