VFD changes Take Effect this Week
September 30, 2015 —
Remember that the new Veterinary Feed Directive rule takes 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. 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
