In January, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration released a preliminary proposal as a follow-up to its 2018 action plan that aimed to bring animal antibiotic use into alignment with principles of antimicrobial stewardship. Central to this goal is ending unnecessary long-term antibiotic treatment of food-producing animals by implementing duration limits for all medically important antibiotics, some of which currently are given to animals for weeks or months. Unfortunately, FDA’s proposal, outlined in a concept paper, will take years to implement—and fails to offer a viable solution to end long-term antibiotic use on farms and feedlots
