Medicated feed is produced and used globally under various different regulatory frameworks. The seminar will be opened by Juan Lubroth, Chief Veterinary Officer, FAO. A presentation by George Tice, representing
Health for Animals, will give an overview of the regulatory requirements for manufacture and placing on the market of medicated feed for the US, the European
Union and other major animal source food producing countries in the world (Brazil, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia, Japan and India). This will include a description of the risk assessment process that quantifies the risk of antibiotic resistance
transfer to humans through food, following the use of antibiotics in animals. George Tice will highlight the differences in definitions and talk about the challenges and opportunities of the feed route for administering veterinary medical products; the role
of generic manufactures and over the counter sell and use of antibiotics. The presentation will be followed by an open discussion about the role of medicated feed in controlling antimicrobial resistance.
Health for Animals is an organization that represents manufacturers of veterinary pharmaceuticals, vaccines and other animal health products throughout the
world, as well as the associations that represent companies at national and regional levels.
