Abstract

In order to prevent the spread of disease in animal feeding operations, antimicrobials often are added to animal feed or water. Tylosin and tetracycline are two of the most commonly used veterinary antibiotics in the swine industry. This multi-year study aims to track the transport of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) from the land-applied manure to the subsurface water drainage systems, with consideration to the field management practices in place.
