In Plain English
Factory farms routinely give antibiotics to healthy animals to promote growth and prevent disease in crowded conditions. This practice contributes to antibiotic-resistant bacteria that can harm human health. The resolution asks federal agencies to prohibit this non-medical use while still allowing antibiotics to treat sick animals.
