>>only a small portion of the antibiotics ZTS (and other animal-health companies) sells are ones that are relevant to human health

It is a mistake to assume that using antibiotics that are not used by humans will solve the problem. Many of the antibiotic resistance traits - efflux pumps and the like - are not specific to one antibiotic at all and can be spread to other bacteria.
