Why Using Antibiotic-free Hog Feed Is the Future of Responsible Farming
For decades, the use of antibiotics in hog feeds was a common practice to promote faster growth and prevent diseases. However, the world is changing. Farmers, consumers, and responsible agribusinesses are now rethinking this approach—and for good reason. At Uybontiong Agriventures, we are proud to take a stand for antibiotic-free livestock production, in partnership with PURINA® Cargill Feeds—a global leader committed to the highest standards in animal nutrition and food safety.
The Hidden Danger: Antibiotics in Meat
Using antibiotics in animal feeds might have been seen as a shortcut to profit, but it poses a serious long-term threat:
-
Antibiotic Resistance in Humans: Every time we consume meat with antibiotic residues, we increase the risk of developing antibiotic-resistant bacteria in our bodies. This means that when we get sick, our bodies may no longer respond to life-saving antibiotic treatments.
-
Silent Public Health Crisis: Studies show a direct link between overuse of antibiotics in animals and rising resistance in humans. Many people who suffer from infections fail to recover—not because medicine is unavailable, but because antibiotics no longer work.
-
Loss of Lives: In severe cases, antibiotic resistance leads to untreatable infections, complications, and even death. This is not just a farm issue—it’s a global public health emergency.
PURINA® Cargill Feeds: Safe, Responsible, Antibiotic-Free Hog Feed
At Uybontiong Agriventures, we use and strongly recommend PURINA® Cargill Hog Feeds—a brand that upholds strict compliance with no-antibiotics-in-feed policies. Here’s why this matters:
-
✅ Globally Recognized Standards: PURINA feeds meet and exceed global safety and sustainability standards. Their commitment ensures that hogs grow healthy and strong without compromising food safety.
-
✅ No Compromise on Public Health: PURINA’s no-antibiotic policy reflects our shared belief: responsibility is more important than just fast growth or quick profit.
-
✅ Clean, Safe Meat: With antibiotic-free feed, we help ensure that the meat on your table is free from harmful drug residues.
By choosing PURINA and removing antibiotics, we’re not just producing hogs—we’re protecting families and communities from the dangers of drug-resistant infections.
Real Farming, Real Responsibility
We believe that farming is not just about raising animals—it’s about nurturing life and protecting people. At Uybontiong Agriventures, our mission goes beyond profit. We stand for:
-
Natural Growth: Our pigs are raised using nutrition-based, health-supporting feeds, not shortcuts.
-
Stronger Immunity: Our animals are healthier from the inside out, thanks to proper nutrition, biosecurity, and responsible care.
-
️ A Healthier Future: Every antibiotic-free pig we raise means safer meals for Filipino families—and stronger protection against future health threats.
