To assist stakeholders involved with veterinary feed directives – veterinarians, VFD feed distributors (medicated feed mills, feed retailers) and clients (owners or other caretakers of the animals) the FDA has finalized Guidance for Industry (GFI) #120: Veterinary Feed Directive Regulation Questions and Answers. While the core recommendations in final GFI #120 remain the same as the revised draft guidance issued in 2019, the language in the final guidance better aligns with existing industry practices and clarifies flexibilities to reduce the burden on veterinarians, producers and distributors.
