Veterinary Feed Directive Webinar

The new Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) regulation from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) marks a major change for the livestock industry. Veterinarians will soon have increased responsibility for prescribing antimicrobials in feed and water — and the roles for producers, nutritionists and feed suppliers also will change.
 
Led by several industry experts and brought to you by Zoetis, this interactive webinar will examine the VFD regulation, including roles and responsibilities, timing and requirements. Do you have questions about the VFD? You’ll have the opportunity to ask the experts after the presentation.
 
Who should attend:
 
  1. Livestock producers who incorporate medicated feed ingredients into complete feeds, minerals and/or supplements
  2. Veterinarians who help livestock clients manage disease through use of antimicrobials
  3. Nutritionists who help livestock clients formulate and balance rations
  4. Feed suppliers who manufacture complete feeds, minerals and/or supplements for livestock producers
What you will learn:
 
  1. Understanding the Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD)
  2. VFD implementation requirements and roles
  3. VFD timeline
  4. Q&A with industry experts

Video: Heat Stress in Pigs: What to Prepare for Before Next Summer - Dr. Joshua Selsby

In this episode of The Swine it Podcast Show Canada, Dr. Joshua Selsby from Iowa State University explains how heat stress affects swine biology and why now is the ideal time to prepare for next summer’s challenges. He breaks down its effects on muscle function, immune responses, and long-term metabolic outcomes. Learn how early planning can protect herd performance when temperatures rise again. Listen now on all major platforms! "Heat stress leads to a cascade of biological damage, beginning with metabolic disruption and expanding across multiple organ systems." Meet the guest: Dr. Joshua Selsby is a Professor in the Department of Animal Science at Iowa State University. With over 15 years of research on skeletal muscle physiology and heat stress, he focuses on understanding how thermal stress disrupts swine metabolism, immune function, and muscle integrity.
