The new Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) rule is effective Jan. 1, 2017. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) aims to accomplish three goals with these changes: promote judicious use of antibiotics, protect public health and help limit the development of antimicrobial resistance. Under the new rule, more products will now require a VFD. The changes will help support a more streamlined approach to the judicious use of antibiotics and will impact veterinarians, feed distributors and producers.
