Feds tighten restrictions on meds for farm animals

FRAZEE, Minn. — Since antibiotics came into general use in the 1930s and 1940s, they have been widely available to American farmers to use on their livestock at their discretion.

Until now, antibiotics for food animals have been easily obtained at feed stores, fleet supply stores or online.

Farmers with sick livestock often take care of the problem themselves.
