The President of the AVA, Dr Garth McGilvray, last month sent the following letter to the Editor of the Weekend Australian newspaper. This was in response to inaccurate claims it had published earlier concerning the use of antibiotics in food production animals ‐ and the risk of this leading to antibiotic resistance in humans. The letter was published unedited, except for the deletion of the last paragraph ‐ apparently for space reasons.
