Times Now News– July 23, 2019. Earlier, a 2017 study published in Environmental Health Perspectives found high levels of antibiotic-resistant pathogens in chickens raised for both meat and eggs on farms in India, raising serious health concerns. The study led by researchers from the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy (CDDEP) suggested that the findings have serious implications, not only for India but globally. Earlier studies done by CDDEP studies have projected that the consumption of antibiotics through animal food sources will rise globally by 67 percent by 2030, including more than a tripling of use in India.
