The strategy produced 2,820 unique abstracts The purpose of this review was two-fold, to a) give that were then subjected to a series of inclusion and an overview of the modern feedlot industry in North exclusion criteria, which allowed us to classify them America to provide context, and b) to search the according to their relevance to our review questions, scientific literature in order to identi [...] The long-term effects prior to being shipped to a feedlot reduces disease of metaphylactic antimicrobial use in the feedlot on at the feedlot, but the consistency and size of the treatment efficacy and AMR should be examined effect has been difficult to establish, at least in part within and across different feedlots.
