Matt interviews Dr. Scott Liebsle, Deputy State Veterinarian at the Idaho State Department of Agriculture, to learn more about the Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD), which identifies medically relevant antimicrobials used in human medicines and places some new rules about how those antimicrobials may be used in animal products and feeds, especially for the purpose of promoting animal growth or feed efficiency.

Dr. Liebsle goes to great detail, including listing some of the antimicrobials that will now require you to visit a veterinarian.
