VFD webinar now available online
Full implementation of the FDA's new veterinary feed directive (VFD) rules will commence at the end of this year, a deadline that is rapidly approaching. The new rules will place the use of medically important antibiotics delivered in feed under the oversight of veterinarians.
On April 19, GlobalVetLINK hosted a webinar titled "Veterinary Feed Directives: Taking Action." The archived presentations now are available for viewing on your own time.
The webinar features several presenters with insights on different aspects of the VFD rule and how veterinarians and producers should prepare. These include:
- Veterinary Feed Directive -
Industry Concerns & Challenges - Richard Sellers, Senior Vice President,
Public Policy and Education, American Feed Industry Association (AFIA).
- Veterinarian Responsibilities & VCPR - Christine Hoang, DVM, MPH, CPH, Assistant Director, Division of Animal and Public Health, American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).
