Baytril: BAYER profits from factory farming

60% of all antibiotics end up in the farm yard / more and more resistant strains

More than half of all antibiotics produced globally end up being used in the farm yard, creating a mass of resistant strains which are detectable in pork, beef or poultry after slaughter. Sometimes this danger is lethal.

One of the biggest profiteers of factory farming is the German pharmaceutical corporation BAYER. In 2010 BAYER achieved a turnover of 166 million euro with the animal antibiotic Baytril alone, an 11 percent increase on the previous year. BAYER is the fourth largest company worldwide in the field of veterinary medicine.

Philipp Mimkes of Coalition against Bayer Dangers said: “Keeping thousands of animals in a cramped space would not be possible without the products of BAYER & Co. BAYER benefits from the disastrous conditions in factory farming where new diseases emerge constantly, thus bearing partial responsibility for the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains.”

In many animal rearing facilities injections with Baytril are part of everyday routine. The drug has been used en masse since 1995 in the treatment of infectious diseases of poultry, calves, cattle, turkeys and pigs. The active ingredient of Baytril (Enrofloxacin) is chemically related to the human antibiotics CIPROBAY (Ciprofloxacin) and AVALOX (Moxifloxacin) marketed by BAYER. The large scale use of Baytril has led to increasing inefficacy of human antibiotics.

The Coalition against Bayer Dangers demands:

·         A ban on the abusive practice of factory farming, necessitating the excessive use of antibiotics in the first place,

·         A seamless documentation of all antibiotic use in the farm yard,

·         A ban on the routine dispensation of antibiotics in animal feed, and the corresponding inspections and penalties,

·         The use of antibiotics exclusively through vets; the aim must be to rear animals without antibiotics,

·         A ban on the routine use of antibiotics in whole herds.

Recent studies prove that a large part of chicken meat in supermarkets is contaminated with antibiotic-resistant strains. In the case of a subsequent infection consumers cannot be treated with common antibiotics.

In the European Union the preventive use of antibiotics was banned years ago, however, without causing a drop in the fall of amount used. A study carried out by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) last autumn concluded that the use of antibiotics in animal rearing increases the risk of their inefficacy in humans. For years the World Health Organisation (WHO) too has demanded a ban on the large scale use of antibiotics in animal rearing.
