There are differences with using antibiotics to make something work and to lower infection rates. China has 200+mg of Antibiotics usage. This is a clear case of using Antibiotics to make meat production possible, because theres no way you need this many antibiotics without some deep rooted problems. The US has A fraction of this. I don’t want to decline that, especially in bigger farms, antibiotics are used to make it work(at least partially), but I would guess that its often really just to treat sick animals.
