Veterinary resource: FDA’s New Rules for Use of Antibiotics in Food Animals & VFDs, Recorded Webinar, Now Available.

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.

Abstract
The discovery of fluorescent proteins has revolutionized experimental biology. Whereas the majority of fluorescent proteins have been identified from cnidarians, recently several fluorescent proteins have been isolated across the animal tree of life. Here we show that biofluorescence is not only phylogenetically widespread, but is also phenotypically variable across both cartilaginous and bony fishes, highlighting its evolutionary history and the possibility for discovery of numerous novel fluorescent proteins. Fish biofluorescence is especially common and morphologically variable in cryptically patterned coral-reef lineages. We identified 16 orders, 50 families, 105 genera, and more than 180 species of biofluorescent fishes. We have also reconstructed our current understanding of the phylogenetic distribution of biofluorescence for ray-finned fishes. The presence of yellow long-pass intraocular filters in many biofluorescent fish lineages and the substantive color vision capabilities of coral-reef fishes suggest that they are capable of detecting fluoresced light. We present species-specific emission patterns among closely related species, indicating that biofluorescence potentially functions in intraspecific communication and evidence that fluorescence can be used for camouflage. This research provides insight into the distribution, evolution, and phenotypic variability of biofluorescence in marine lineages and examines the role this variation may play.

Special introductory price for “Fish Vetting Techniques & Practical Tips” DVD. 3 days left.
Have you ever had sick fish and couldn’t get decent help for a diagnosis and cure?
Are you looking for a career in aquatic animal health?
Are you an aspiring aquatic veterinarian and would like to learn the ropes, with no one to show you?
Then, “Fish Vetting Techniques & Practical Tips – instructional video” is for you.
Why did I create this DVD? Well, from those leading questions, you can see that it’s a fish welfare issue as much as it is to help other veterinarians and fish keepers look after fish.
The title is exactly what it says it is, and there is no substitute.
Some reviewers have commented that it launches straight into the content, without an introduction. It’s because I didn’t want to reduce the content and the DVD is maxed out with 105 minutes of important demonstrations and discussions.
Read more here – http://tinyurl.com/fvet-tech-dvd
So, for this month of January, I’m offering this DVD at a special low price of AUD$85 (RRP AUD$195) + P&H.
That’s right, there are only a few days left!
So, land one now at http://thefishvet.com.au/shop/shopping.html
