Thank you for that info. Seemed a bit like back to the earth hippie stuff. Sanitation is key in all things animal and human. I’m not well versed in the scientifc data re: poultry production. But I’ve given a few antibiotic injections to livestock in my time. I bless the medical researchers who gave us second and third chances at life and never forget my personal debt to modern medicine. If we’ve used the magic bullet incorrectly, we shall study, look at the data and correct mistakes made. But oregano in mass production?
Oil of oregano has been found to be in the alternative antibiotic. Supposedly can kill even MERSA

I make my own toothpaste and put some more Regen oil in it I use it for other things as well very powerful stuff.
A common misconception is that those huge double breasted chickens get that way by use of hormones. They don't. Actually use of hormones on poultry has been illegal for at least 50 years in the US. The chickens get huge because of crossbreeding and hybridizing.
I raise a few chickens for eggs mainly but looked into getting a few meat chickens. The typical meat chicken is a Jumbo Cornish X Rock and is usually ready to butcher at 6-8 weeks. If you try grow them much past that they put on weight so darn fast that either their legs will break or they'll literally drop dead of a heart attack. They are a hybrid selectively bred to put on weight in shortest amount of time. No hormones needed.
Antibiotics are another story.
We use natural apple cider vinegar(with the "mother") in their water which works for us.
Another thing the processors do is they will inject their processed chickens with water and other ingredients (broth?). If you buy raw chicken and the the label has "ingredients" stay clear, you're paying for an adulterated product.
Here's a link about hormones in poultry:

Oregano or Thyme?
The authors seem to believe oregano is being used for antioxidants, when in fact it’s a potent antimicrobial. Oil of oregano is excellent for infections.

Neither, your usual.

Anyone that believes in miracle oregano is a fool.
“The authors seem to believe oregano is being used for antioxidants, when in fact it’s a potent antimicrobial. Oil of oregano is excellent for infections.”
Just make sure you apply it to the bottoms of your feet or it will not work.
Phenolic phytochemicals consumed via our diet are good sources of natural antioxidants. These phenolic metabolites have beneficial effects on human health, including inhibition of mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. In addition some phenolic phytochemicals have also been shown to have antimicrobial and antifungal activity. Oregano (Origanum vulgare L.) is an important Mediterranean herb rich in phenolic compounds with antioxidant and antimicrobial activity.......

With your stubborn ignorance, you are the very definition of a fool.
What you don’t understand you disparage, all day long.
That’s all you ever do.
(and it appears that there is little you do understand)

“(and it appears that there is little you do understand)”
I understand when fools are parted from their money!
Have you ever researched this issue? I think not.
Even the chicken farmers say it is the sanitation improvements that are beneficial and not the miracle oregano.
“My guess is that the Pharma-death industry will move to get congress to block it.”
Ever wonder why their are thousands of bottles of ‘supplements’ at your drugstore? $$$$$$$$$$$
Guess who’s lobbying whom?
“Despite its popularity, there is no science to support the use of oil of oregano for any medical condition. It’s not even pseudoscience. Suggesting that this herb is can effectively treat serious medical conditions like diabetes, asthma, and cancer is dangerous quackery. Unless your local drug store also sells groceries, oregano has no place in the science-based pharmacy. “

Salt, lime juice, Cointreau, and tequila all kill bacteria.
And the margarita tastes better!
“Oregano is not as odd as it sounds; my best student of the mid 1990s, who’s now an ARNP in NJ ... swears by it as an alternative to the basic antibiotics.”
Maybe your worst students believe in real science? I hope so.
"The oils that performed best were thyme followed by those of oregano. Overall, we can conclude that thyme EO is a promising natural component suitable for use as an antimicrobial agent with a particular interest for the pharmaceutical industry as it represents an inexpensive compound. Moreover, a focus must be upon the bactericidal or bacteriostatic activity of the EOs which is tightly dependent on the concentration used."
From the conclusion of a study published 2015 in Microbial Ecology, found in the NIH library here.
I’m not a peta, tree hugging, environmentalist, but there’s no way to raise chickens in those huge barns, where they have to wallow in each other’s filth 24/7, and expect them to be safe for consumption, without antibiotics. I’d feel a lot better about it, if I thought they would give them more space. If I tried to raise chickens in my backyard the way they do, Animal Control would come and take my birds away.
