This study got me thinking. Mice fed antibiotics had lower muscle mass than mice on clean water.
Racing pigeons are commonly exposed to antibiotics during the race season to stave off respiratory infection. Perhaps we'd have better results if we used other methods to control respiratory - eg mycoplasma and chlamidia vaccines rather than antibiotic drugs.
