Grains can be categorized into food grains (for people) and feed grains (for cattle). Cattle eat feed grains like field corn and grain sorghum. An average of 4 ½ pounds of grain is used to produce a pound of beef.
Q: Is it safe to eat beef from cattle treated with antibiotics?
A: Yes. When an animal gets sick, farmers, ranchers and veterinarians carefully evaluate the administration of antibiotics and use specific dosages and treatment protocols that have been rigorously tested and approved by the U. S. Food & Drug Administration to protect animals and humans.
