The Central Advisory Committee (CAC) of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and the Food Safety and Drug Administration (FDA) have jointly prepared a plan. Under this plan, teams of both departments will visit poultry farm and fish pond. Meet farmers engaged in poultry and fish farming. They will be made aware against the use of antibiotics in poultry and fisheries. Also, this awareness program will be run in schools. Significantly, such allegations are made on many other platforms including social media. It is claimed that the use of various types of antibiotics is increasing in the poultry market. Antibiotic doses are being given to chickens to increase the weight of broiler chickens and to get more eggs. At the same time, antibiotics are being used to prevent the disease from spreading in fishes. Perhaps this is the reason why World AMR Awareness Week is celebrated in November. From time to time, the Union Ministry of Dairy and Animal Husbandry also issues guidelines in this regard. However, the director of the Central Avian Research Institute, Bareilly, and the president of the Poultry Federation of India, has a different say about the use of antibiotics in chickens and chickens. They say that due to cost and other reasons, it is not possible to feed antibiotics in large quantities.
