The use of antimicrobial feed additives (AFAs) in animal rations has come under review recently in Europe and the US. A recent evaluation of the economic impact of a ban on AFAs on the US pork industry suggests that on average changes in productivity and fixed costs would result in increased costs and prices as producers adjust to the new regulation. These effects will vary among producers, Producers with high quality management and modern buildings would experience smaller costs from a ban. Also, new marketing technologies that support traceback of product to producers and additional compensation for pork produced without AFAs allow producers to capture price premiums to compensate for higher costs resulting from reduced use of AFAs.
