Veterinary Antibiotics in Animal Diet: Effects on Waste/Environment

  • Reference work entry
  • First Online:
Bioactive Molecules in Food

Part of the book series: Reference Series in Phytochemistry ((RSP))

Abstract

Residues of veterinary antibiotics in the environment pose a risk for aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The degradation of antibiotics in the environment has not been fully characterized in spite of the long periods of persistence of residues in the environment. This chapter reviews the main antibiotics found in water bodies and on land as well as its effects on microbial communities, along with some strategies that have been proposed by global organizations to control the use of antibiotics in the livestock production industry.
