Upcoming webinar to discuss medicated feed
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is holding a webinar called “Medicated feed - an overview of regulations in the major animal source food markets of the world” on Monday, 5 November 2018 at 13:30–15:00 (GMT +2). Medicated feed is produced and used globally under various different regulatory frameworks.
The seminar will be opened by Juan Lubroth, FAO Chief Veterinary Officer, and will feature a presentation by George Tice of Health for Animals, a Codex Observer and global federation representing manufacturers of veterinary medicines, vaccines and other animal health products.
Tice will give an overview of the regulatory requirements for manufacture and placing on the market of medicated feed for the European Union, United States and other major animal source food-producing countries in the world (Australia, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand and Vietnam). 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.
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 sale and use of antibiotics. The presentation will be followed by an open discussion about the role of medicated feed in controlling antimicrobial resistance.

At the heart of the Codex mandate are the core values of collaboration, inclusiveness, consensus building and transparency. Governmental and non-governmental, public and private organizations alike play a vital role in ensuring Codex texts are of the highest quality and based on sound science.
Codex would have little authority in the field of international standard setting if it did not welcome and acknowledge the valuable contributions made by observers. Expert technical bodies, industry and consumer associations
contribute to the standard-setting process in a spirit of openness, collaboration and transparency.
Intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can apply for observer status in Codex in order to attend and put forward their views at every stage of the standard-setting process.
