The White House & One Health Judicious use of antibiotics in healthcare and agricultural settings is essential. 2015 National Action Plan for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
FDA Commissioner, Robert M. Califf, M.D. We can create a problem with antimicrobial resistance if we use antibiotics beyond the point they are really necessary This holds true from livestock all the way to the intensive care unit. Antibiotics are a necessary tool for treating sick animals. AgWeb.com March 2016

Protecting Antibiotics for Humans & Animals
Responsible Antibiotic Use New Fashion Pork Video
Responsible Antibiotic Use Based on veterinarian oversight. In strict compliance with FDA rules. Using only what s necessary for pig s health.
Responsible Antibiotic Use FDA approved to: Treat illness Control the spread of illness Prevent illness when pigs are vulnerable to disease
Antibiotics Benefits & Challenges Animal Health Public Perception Changing FDA Rules
Antibiotics Potential Impacts Without proper use: Higher mortality rate Damage from disease Foodborne illness With proper use: Reduce mortality Protect health Disease control
Antibiotic-Free Pork If a pig is sick, or at risk of getting sick, it should receive judicious antibiotic treatment to avoid animal suffering. Withholding treatment is unethical. Source: American Association of Swine Veterinarians
FDA Safeguards FDA s rigorous scientific processes both approve and regulate how antibiotics are used in food animals.
FDA Safeguards Drug s sponsor must demonstrate drug is safe for: Animals Humans Environment
USDA Safeguards USDA/FSIS tests meat to ensure it is safe and no harmful antibiotic residues, per FDA regulations, enter the food supply.
USDA Hormone Labeling Policy Hormones are not allowed in raising market pigs. Therefore, the claim "no hormones added" cannot be used on labels unless it is followed by a statement that says, "Federal regulations prohibit the use of hormones. FSIS Fact Sheet Meat & Poultry Labeling Terms
Expanding FDA Rules All Food Animals Now In Effect
Expanded FDA Rules Affect all: Farmers who raise food animals Veterinarians Feed suppliers Drug companies Apply to feed-use and waterbased antibiotics that are also important to human health
Expanded FDA Rules Require a VFD or Rx for medically important antibiotics for disease: Treatment Control Prevention Eliminate medically important antibiotics for nutritional efficiency
FDA Antibiotic Classes Medically Important Used in both human & animal medicine as well as animal feed medicine Include: penicillins, cephalosporins, quinolones, fluroquinolones, tetracyclines, macrolides, sulfas, glycopeptides Require a VFD for feed, Rx for water VFD already required for pulmotil & nuflor
FDA Antibiotic Classes Non-medically Important Used exclusively in animal medicines & feed Include: ionophores, polypeptides, carbadox, bambermycin, pleuromutlin Remain available for nutritional efficiency Available OTC for use in feed & water
Nutritional Efficiency Non-medically important antibiotics can improve growth through: Prevention of: Subclinical bacterial infections Microbial growth Increasing nutrient uptake through intestinal wall Source: AASV.org
Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) Existing veterinary oversight of animal feed-use drugs FDA expanding to include: More medically important drugs requiring VFD Specific VFD expiration dates VFD recordkeeping 2-years A valid VCPR (veterinaryclient-patient relationship)
