A University of Missouri veterinarian says livestock producers need to prepare for coming changes in antibiotic availability.
Craig Payne with MU Extension tells Brownfield the Food and Drug Administration is updating several over the counter antibiotics to require a veterinarian prescription which could limit the products’ availability.
“Distributors or retailers that are selling those drugs, may not carry those any longer simply because they don’t want to have to comply with state pharmacy law requirements,” Payne said.
