    Yeah but how else can we cram hundreds of animals into a small place while keeping them in extremely unhygienic conditions in order to maximise profit?

    bacteoiphage treatments for super resistant bacteria will become standard in the coming decades.

      There are quite a few harmful antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains already, so we can’t solely rely on the prospect of a potential new treatment.

        unless cell cultured meats come in a big way or there is a drastic reduction for demand of meat, overuse of antibiotics in the meat industry will continue which will just keep driving antibiotic resistance in bacteria even further. I don’t really have faith in governments to regulate this (doing so would basically kill factory farming) so relying on new treatments is all I can suggest.
