FDA Amends Animal Drug Regulations for Oxytetracycline and Neomycin

Summary

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has updated its regulations for the use of antibiotic drugs in animal feeds, including oxytetracycline and neomycin, which are now sponsored by Pfizer, Inc. rather than Hoffman-La Roche, Inc. The changes also adjust the permitted levels of neomycin in turkey feeds used to treat air-sacculitis in birds.
