Abusing antibiotics as preventive treatment, to compensate for crowded filthy conditions is bad not only for the animals, but bad for public health, because the indiscriminate use of antiobiotics creates a harsh environment for germs, in which only those that have accidentally evolved resistance to the antibiotics can survive and they can then multiply uncontrollably. Some people call these drug resistance bacteria super germs or super bugs. Since these bacteria are resistant to antibiotics, they can infect a person or persons and such infections may not be stoppable with regular antiobiotics. More recently developed antiobiotics must be used instead, and they may not work. The potential for an epidemic of incurable diseases is therefore increased.
