Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) - effective January 1, 2017: We need a VFD from your veterinarian to provide you with feed that includes medically important antibiotics. A VFD can only be issued from a licensed veterinarian, based on a valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship, and include all information, listed below, before a producer may use feeds containing antibiotics that are medically important (including complete feeds, medicated supplements and crumbles) to human health.
