Shining Light on Farm & Food Policy for 20 Years.
Monday, November 25, 2024
Although changes to the Food and Drug Administration’s ability to evaluate zootechnical animal feed substances (ZAFS) were not included in the continuing resolution passed over the weekend, supporters are seeking other potential legislative avenues for passage yet this fall including the farm bill or the next CR needed after this 45-day stopgap expires.
A Senate committee advanced a reauthorization bill for animal drug user fees Thursday after adopting an amendment to speed reviews of feed ingredients that can address environmental concerns or make livestock production more efficient.
Animal industry officials hope the upcoming reauthorization of legislation guiding animal drug reviews will streamline the approval process, preventing the U.S. from falling behind foreign governments.
