While another month has come and gone for the 2023 production year, if you haven't already heard, June will hold some significant changes for the livestock industry in the area of antibiotics.
On June 11, FDA’s Guidance for Industry #263 brings 91 over-the-counter antimicrobial products from OTC to prescription oversight. Three experts weigh in on why you need to prepare for this change now.
The International Consortium for Antimicrobial Stewardship in Agriculture (ICASA) has awarded nine grants to develop management strategies that improve judicious antibiotic use in beef cattle and swine.
While several brand-name and generic products are available at a variety of price points, what questions do you ask yourself when there’s a sick animal needing care?
USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture announced an investment of more than $5 million to mitigate antimicrobial resistance across the food chain.
Probiotics may not be as beneficial for animal and human health as people think, according to recently published research at Kansas State University. Here's why.
Antimicrobial resistance is a “One Health” challenge that requires effort across both human and animal health sectors. Animal health companies have invested billions as part of a strategy to reduce antibiotic use.
Kansas State University & University of Minnesota researchers collaborate with the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine and food animal industries to evaluate systems for collecting and evaluating antimicrobial use data.
A new report,“Beyond Antibiotics: The Future of Animal Health Alternatives,” identifies alternatives that could help support the animal health industry and producers, while reducing antibiotic use.
A Texas Tech researcher has received funding from both USDA and NCBA for a project to evaluate the distribution of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes and the occurrence of horizontal gene transfer in high-risk cattle.
Antimicrobial resistance might sound like a challenge straight out the headlines, but it could become awfully personal when you find routine antibiotics no longer cure a sick calf.
According to an analysis published in the journal Science, antibiotic resistance among bacteria affecting food animals has nearly tripled over the past 20 years.
The FDA has awarded two $250,000 grants to fund research projects in fiscal year 2019 to help target and define durations of use for certain medically important antimicrobial drugs administered in animal feed.
Veterinarians and livestock producers have adapted to significant changes in antimicrobial regulations, and change will continue as the FDA works through its five-year plan for antimicrobial stewardship.
In a release earlier this month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced approval of Monovet 90, the first generic monensin product for use in cattle and goats.
One way that researchers and cattlemen are addressing emissions is through the creation and adoption of technology that introduce efficiency to the beef production cycle.

The complex challenges of addressing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) make it a prototypical “One-Health” issue, according to five new papers published in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences.
Noting the importance of keeping the use of antimicrobials as low as possible without compromising health, three international veterinary organizations have issued a statement regarding judicious use in food animals.
USDA researchers say they have found little difference in levels of antimicrobial resistant bacteria in ground beef samples from either cattle raised without antibiotics or from conventionally raised cattle.
Veterinarians will, over the next five years, become more involved in overseeing the use of all forms of medically important antimicrobials used in livestock.
When new veterinary feed directive (VFD) rules launched last year, FDA indicated they would initially focus on education, rather than penalties, to facilitate adoption and compliance.
The World Health Organization (WHO) this week released the first report from its Global Antimicrobial Surveillance System (GLASS), showing high levels of antibiotic resistance in human pathogens worldwide.
Since the FDA launched its new veterinary feed directive (VFD) policies in January 2017, numerous producer questions have centered on the use of chlortetracycline (CTC) for control of anaplasmosis.
GlobalVetLINK (GVL) will host a free webinar, Veterinary Feed Directive Implementation: Lessons Learned, on Tuesday, December 5th at 12:00 p.m. CST for veterinarians, feed distributors and producers.
The latest report from the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) shows antibiotic resistance remains low for most human infections.
