New VFD Rules Now in Effect
October 14, 2015 —
Remember that the new Veterinary Feed Directive rule took effect on October 1, 2015. This impacts the three VFD swine products currently on the market (florfenicol, tilmicosin and avilamycin) and any over-the-counter products that transition to VFD going forward. Watch your mail box in the next few weeks for an informative brochure on the new rule from AASV. The brochure is currently available on the AASV web site. In the meantime, here are some references to review if you have any questions about the new rule or you can email questions to FDA at AskCVM@fda.hhs.gov
