Realism is beginning to creep into the English language

This is an animal feed publication with a finger on the button. We can do no better than copy their header.
“Pig Progress” is a part of the same group,

...MRSA
(Methicilline resistant Staphylocossus aureus) develops on pig farms
and with transports of piglets and finishers the bacteria have spread rapidly.
About 40% of the pig farmers in the Netherlands carry MRSA-bacteria and if they
have to go to hospital they have to be cared for separately and
quarantined...
...In order to avoid this horror scenario for other countries, antibiotic use in the livestock industry has to be minimised. This is possible with vaccinations against diseases, better feed and better housing....
