Subject: AquaVetMed e-News: FDA’s New Rules for Use of Antibiotics in Food Animals & VFDs Recorded Webinar Now Available
January 30, 2014
Webinar: FDA’s New Rules for Use of Antibiotics in Food Animals
On January 28, 2014 the University of Illinois hosted a webinar to address the implications of the December 11, 2013, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced important steps, regulations and guidance to ensure the judicious use of antibiotics in food animals (including aquaculture) as one approach to addressing antimicrobial resistance in human medicine.
In an effort to clarify what this ruling means to livestock producers and other industry professionals (including aquaculture), members of the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois address and discussed the new rules and covered what the new steps mean to the livestock industry, what they don’t mean, and how producers and others should respond. The webinar was presented by professor emeritus James Pettigrew and professor Hans Stein.
“This announcement is not a surprise; it has been anticipated for several months,” Pettigrew said. Pettigrew explained that while the FDA’s approach to antibiotic use in food animals had been published previously, the new documents issued this month describe the implementation of that approach. “The documents address only those antibiotics considered important in human medicine, which are all of them except the widely-used ionophores and a few others,” Pettigrew said. “The new rules apply only to antibiotics used in feed or drinking water.”
The core of the FDA’s approach includes:
1. No use of these antibiotics for production purposes (to improve growth rate or feed efficiency).
2. All uses of these antibiotics must be under veterinary oversight.
3. Disease prevention is specifically recognized as an approved judicious use of antibiotics.
The a recording of the webinar and presentation slides and key documents related to the new FDA regulations are available from http://nutrition.ansci.illinois.edu/AntibioticsWebinar.
Veterinarians wanting a Continuing Education credit after watching the webinar, should send an e-mail to ope@vetmed.illinois.edu, and include their name and address, e-mail address, and state/s and license number/s where they are licensed to practice veterinary medicine.
