[USCC] Antibiotics in meat after composting

I have done a quick literature search, and looked at the STA materials  
posted online, but cannot find an answer to a question recently posed  
to us here at Philly Compost (new venture!).

The question is:  if non-organically-raised meat scraps are composted  
according to the STA standards, will the antibiotics in the meats be  
broken down during the process?

Will appreciate any knowledge others may have on this topic.

Many thanks,
