India Bans 34 Medicines in Livestock to Curb Drug Resistance

India Bans 34 Medicines in Livestock to Curb Drug Resistance

Imagine bacteria becoming super strong, like they don't get sick from medicine anymore.

This happens when we overuse medicine in animals, and then we eat the animals.

The Indian government is stopping this by banning certain medicines for animals like cows and chickens.

These medicines can make the bacteria in the animals resistant to medicine.

This ban is to protect humans.

This move helps India match what other places like Europe are already doing.

This will make sure the medicines work when we need them.
