FOCUS ON SAFE FEED AND ANTIBIOTIC USE:The FDA issues Draft Guidance for on-farm feed.

摘要

Beginning in late March, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began accepting comments on Draft Guidance 203, which outlines steps livestock producers can take to identify and prevent feed contaminants that could jeopardize animal health and food safety. It applies to all feed offered to farm animals, whether the feed is obtainedfrom commercial suppliers or produced on the farm. It also applies to products consumed by animals during pasture grazing, pre- or post- harvest grazing, free-range feeding, and forage-crop feeding.
