Amick tried to go mostly antibiotic free 2ish years ago. What they found was that birds would get sick and require the meds. When the birds were placed, they stick a "Antibiotic Free" sign out by the road and pull it off on the way out from injecting meds, if they had to. Personally, most growers are very conscientious, but I have seen a fair share of "questionable" management actions that I know the integrator never knew of.
