Abstract: The purpose of this report is to investigate the economic implications of the FDA proposal on broiler and turkey production. The first section is a cursory examination of substitution possibilities and the effect of their use. The second section is a reexamination of the benefits of antibiotic feeding, disregarding all substitution possibilities, to complement a report on antibiotic feeding to livestock submitted earlier. The results of the two sections establish the minimum and maximum bounds about the potential economic impact.
