[Sc-aquaponics] FW: VFD Fact Sheet for 4-H Families

Thu Dec 15 10:17:05 EST 2016

All,

See attached for an OSU Extension fact sheet directed at the new Veterinary Feed Directive ruling that starts January 1, 2017. I also sent something out about a month ago regarding VFDs. This fact sheet is not directed at aqua producers but offers some good information. For aqua producers, the links at the bottom of the PDF might prove to be the most useful part. If you have questions about how VFD will affect your operation then contact me and your feed producer. Once again, VFD only involves antibiotic feed (Romet or Terramycin). Thanks

All,

Sharing this with our County ANR Educators as a resource for you with questions on the Veterinary Feed Directive.

On another note, I am currently working with Veterinary Preventative Medicine to hold a Carmen Connect, targeting dates in January to answer your questions with our experts in Vet. Prev. Med.

Thanks again to Lucinda Miller for sharing this fact sheet withus.

Hi Teresa,

I just sent the following email out to the 4-H professionals listserv. This may be something you might want to send to the ANR listserv also since ANR educators answer several questions about the VFD. Thanks!  Lu
