NCBA submits comments on cephalosporin use

On behalf of NCBA, Chief Veterinarian Dr. Elizabeth Parker submitted comments to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the prohibition of extra-label use of cephalosporin in food producing animals.

The comments submitted found fault with the FDA's process and lack of data to substantiate such a regulatory action. NCBA requested that FDA withdraw the rule and work with stakeholders to gather more scientific data before moving ahead with any regulatory actions.
