According to AFIA President and CEO, Constance Cullman, the House and Senate are considering the Innovative FEED Act that should receive rapid approval given bipartisan and bicameral support.  The legislation would reduce what is regarded as burdensome regulations imposed by the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine with regard to feed additives containing probiotics.

Amending FDA rules would facilitate approval  of available products and bring the U.S. into conformity with competing nations that have approved probiotics to enhance productivity in place of antibiotic additives.
