Agriculture ministers have often warned pig farmers against too high a consumption of antibiotics for fear that in the long term it will become more difficult to treat humans with antibiotics.
But the warnings do not seem to have had much of an effect. According to the latest figues, the first six months of 2010 saw the use of 56.6 tonnes of antibiotics for pigs, with the overall use of antibiotics at the end of the year expected to be some 110 tonnes.
