The dairy industry is committed to producing safe, abundant, and affordable milk and dairy beef of the highest quality. Healthy animals help make for safe food, and disease prevention is the key to keeping cows healthy. When dairy animals get sick and treatment is necessary, producers and veterinarians use drugs judiciously. Antibiotics should be used appropriately to prevent residues from occurring in milk or dairy beef sent to market. The marketing of milk or beef with antibiotic residues, even unintentionally, is illegal and can result in financial and criminal penalties.
