Agricultural medications include:
-
Antibiotics: These medications are used to treat infections caused by bacteria. They may be used to treat infections in livestock, as well as to prevent the spread of infection in a herd or flock.
-
Anti-parasitic medications: These medications are used to treat and prevent infestations of worms, lice, and other parasites in livestock.
-
Hormones and growth promoters: These medications may be used to help livestock grow faster or produce more milk or eggs.
-
Vitamins and minerals: These supplements may be used to help ensure that livestock get the nutrients they need to stay healthy.
It's important to note that the use of certain agricultural medications, such as antibiotics, is regulated in many countries to ensure that they are used responsibly and in ways that do not pose a risk to human health. It's also important to consult with a veterinarian or other animal health professional before giving any medication to livestock.
