FDA seeks comments on medicated feed approval process
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration reminded the public Aug. 20 that it is seeking public comment as it continues to explore possible modifications to the procedures and requirements for the approval of combination drug medicated feeds.
Currently, the use of multiple new animal drugs in the same medicated feed requires an approved new animal drug application (NADA) for each new animal drug in the combination, and a separate approved NADA for the combination new animal drug itself. The intent of this exploration is to consider changes intended to allow combination drug medicated feeds to be made available to the end user in the most efficient manner possible while protecting and promoting the public health, FDA said.

USDA seeks comments on mass carcass disposal plan
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) announced Aug. 14 that it is seeking public comments on a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) for mass carcass management. Additionally, APHIS is also publishing an environmental assessment (EA) and finding of no significant impact (FONSI) for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).
Livestock carcasses in large numbers can present a potential environmental risk, and APHIS must effectively manage carcasses in a mass animal health emergency to reduce potential risks to humans, livestock and the surrounding environment.
APHIS began work on the draft EIS in 2013, well before the first cases of HPAI were discovered in the U.S. in December 2014. This EIS process typically takes two to three years. APHIS is continuing work on the EIS to assist with future animal disease outbreaks. Work related to the EIS that was done during the winter and spring outbreak of HPAI was consistent with the draft EIS.

FDA releases antimicrobial progress report
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration announced Aug. 21 its third progress report highlighting recent actions to promote the judicious use of antimicrobials in food-producing animals.
Additionally, the agency announced open registration for a public meeting to obtain stakeholder input on approaches for collecting on-farm antimicrobial drug use and resistance data.
There were 293 applications initially affected by Guidance For Industry #213, which calls on animal drug sponsors of approved medically important antimicrobials administered through medicated feed or water to voluntarily remove from their product labels indications for use related to growth promotion and bring the remaining therapeutic uses of these products under the oversight of a veterinarian by December 2016.

Pork Checkoff lawsuit revived
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia revived Aug. 14 a lawsuit involving the pork checkoff that has been dismissed for nearly two years.
The original Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) et al v. Vilsack lawsuit, filed by HSUS, Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, and an independent pig farmer, alleged the pork industry's ""Pork, The Other White Meat"" trademark slogan was sold unlawfully to fund National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) lobbying efforts.
In the initial lawsuit, the plaintiffs sued the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack under the Administrative Procedure Act for approving the trademark purchase and National Pork Board's (NPB) annual payments to NPPC.
