Join us at the Academy
on June 3, 2016, from 8:30am - 6: 00pm
for a special event presented by the Sackler Institute for Nutrition Science
Antibiotics
in Food: Can Less Do More?
Antibiotics have been used to prevent disease and accelerate growth in animal-rearing. Driven by concerns about antibiotic resistance, reduction in antibiotic
use has changed the dynamics between food supply, food safety and public health. Concurrently, scientific advances offer alternative options such as probiotics and bacteriophages. This one-day conference will review the implications of a reduction of antibiotic
use in the food system from veterinary health, human health, food safety, and food system economic perspectives.
This one-day meeting will culminate in a panel discussion: "The Reasonable Use of and Alternatives for Antibiotics in the Food System," with panelists Rebecca
Irwin, DVM, MSc, Public Health Agency of Canada;
Francois Malouin, PhD, Sherbrooke University; and James
Marsden, PhD., Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc.
