12 Jun 2024 --- The routine use of antibiotics in animal health leads to the development of antibiotic resistance in dairy cows and compromises milk quality when antibiotic residues are left in the milk, says David Javier Iscovich, CEO and co-founder of Mileutis. The Israel-based biopharmaceutical company has formulated an antibiotic substitute for dairy cows to reduce the dairy industry’s reliance on antibiotics by up to 90%. “Food-animal products (e.g., dairies) and cattle infection by antimicrobial resistant (AMR) microorganisms, are both part of the chain of the impact of AMR transmission between both cattle and humans,” he tells Food Ingredients First.
