I am sorry to interrupt. Is the EPA monitoring powdered antibiotics in the air and which are falling out of the chicken's trough, or however one feeds a chicken? Is the EPA monitoring the waste produced, the pig slurry and whatever happens to chicken waste? Is the EPA monitoring the product being produced that I suspect has high levels of antibiotics and is perhaps being spread on land near water supplies? I am specifically asking if the EPA is monitoring those antibiotics.
