description: Abstract: "Legislation has been introduced in the General Assembly in recent years seeking to eliminate or limit the use of arsenic-containing drugs and antimicrobial ... drugs administered through the feed and drinking water of food-producing animals in the State. Animal drugs are used both for health-related uses, such as disease treatment or prevention, and production-related uses, such as growth promotion. A prohibition on arsenic-containing drugs was enacted in 2012, but legislation first introduced in 2013 to limit the use of antimicrobial drugs was unsuccessful ... This report (1) provides background on arsenic-containing and antimicrobial animal drugs, the recent Maryland legislation addressing the two issues, and related FDA actions; (2) describes the federal and State regulation of animal feed and animal drugs in general; and 3) discusses considerations relevant to a proposal to limit the use of antimicrobial drugs in the State"--p.\n 1.
