These regional workshops are an opportunity for livestock producers, their feed suppliers and veterinarians to gain a comprehensive understanding of two Guidance for Industry (GFIs) issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the use of medically- important antimicrobial drugs in food-producing animals, as well as the FDA’s revised Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) rule.  The workshops are also an opportunity for other stakeholders, such as state and federal agencies, colleges of veterinary medicine and university extension personnel, to gain insights into the changes needed to meet the requirements.

 
In NY the workshops will be Aug. 20 at SUNY – Cobleskill. For complete details go to: http://www.bovinevetonline.com/events-and-contests/calendar/stewardship-antimicrobial-use-livestock-focus-12-workshops.
