The major reason why we have antibiotic resistant bacteria is because we use literal tons of the stuff for meat production and too many countries have too lax controls for antibiotic use in humans, which means they are taken for things were they don't help, or are not necessary, and are taken in the wrong dosage and for the wrong duration.

Exactly, if we only used it when there was a chance of it being effective that would be that, but instead your average cow is a walking antibiotic laboratory.

Malaria seems to develop resistance pretty fast. Are farm animals getting those treatments in their feed?

You will notice that the word "malaria" does not appear in the article cited. It is, thus, non-responsive, and no better than noise.

Anti-malarial medications are not antibiotics. Malaria has never responded to any antibiotic, to my knowledge. Maybe you don't know what malaria is?

I simply misparsed "those treatments" in your comment, thinking that they referred to antibiotics, which this threat is about after all. I'm aware that Malaria is not a bacterial infection.
