Veterinary Feed Directives Meetings
With the new veterinary feed directives set to go into effect Jan. 1, K-State Research and Extension has planned meetings to help producers prepare for the upcoming regulations.K-State Research and Extension (KSRE) will be offering state-wide educational opportunities this fall focusing on the veterinary feed directive (VFD) that will go into effect January 1, 2017. To prepare, producers need to become familiar with the regulation and the associated procedures.
"The information presented will ensure that the producers of Kansas will be at the forefront of this change in the industry," says A.J. Tarpoff, K-State extension beef veterinarian. "It's imperative that we use antimicrobials judiciously and the VFD has steps to guarantee this proper use."
KSRE in cooperation with KSU College of Veterinary Medicine will be presenting information at a number of sites across the state to help producers, feed distributors and veterinarians understand the details.
