Character CountsTrustworthiness and

Telling the Truth“For every good reason there is to lie,

there is a better reason to tell the truth.”—Bo Bennett, American Businessman

Likethisactivity?Findmorelikeitinthe“GoodIdeasBook”atyourlocalExtensionOffice

The Trustworthiness pillar is blue and it’s easy to remember with the saying “true blue”. The true blue motto, “honesty is always the best policy”, reflects the importance of telling the truth.

There are many reasons people lie:

They don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings so they tell a white lie or fib, “You did a great job sewing this out-fit”. Thetruth:theseamsare crooked.

They think it might be simpler to tell a white lie, “I’m sorry I can’t come to game night because I have other plans”.Thetruth:youdon’t like to play games.

They are afraid if they tell the truth, it might get them into trouble, “I don’t know where the clippers are”. The truth: youforgot to pack them after the last show.

They think it might help them get ahead, “I missed the deadline because my club leader didn’t get me the paperwork in time”. The truth: youput thepaperworkonthe counter and it got covered up.

There are better reasons for telling the truth:

“You did a great job sewing this outfit”.White liesareanexcuse

that lets us take the easy way out. In the end, it will make your friend feel foolish when the judge gives them a red ribbon because of the way the seams are sewn.

“I’m sorry I can’t come to game night because I have other plans”. You are probably going to get invited over to play again because they don’t know that you don’t like games. Lying this time sets you up to lie again. “I don’t know where the clippers are”. The person you lied to is going to waste their time looking for clippers that you know have been lost.

“I missed the deadline because my club leader didn’t get me the paperwork in time”. It’s cruel to blame someone else for your mistake and it will harm your relationship with that person.

Learning how to be tactful, to reply in a way that is sensitive to an-other’s feelings, will help you to be able to tell the truth all the time. How can you phrase the truth in a way that won’t hurt the other per-son’s feelings?

“It looks like you had trouble staying in the seam allowance. What made it go crooked?” vs. “You did a terrible job sewing those seams”. Maybe they were

sewing too fast; maybe they sewed over a pin instead of taking it out; maybe the fabric was slippery; etc. Use this opportunity to help them learnhowtoimprovenexttime.

“Thanks for the invitation but games aren’t my thing. I would love to go to the movie though.” vs. “Games are stupid.” Even ifyou think games are stupid, the friend who invited you to play feels differently.

The very best reasons for telling the truth:

Your friendships—friendships are built on trust. People will not want to be friends with you if they feel like you can’t be trusted.

Your health—even if you only fib, you feel a little sick inside. You know it’s wrong. Lies are lies, no matter how big or small.

head be honest in words and actions

hands be a good friend

health stand up for your beliefs and do what is right.

Veterinary FeedDirective (VFD)

ProducerRequirements

2015

For more information:[email protected]

Guidance for Industry #12021 CFR 558.6 (VFD)

http://www.fda.gov/safefeed

Extralabel use

What is an “extralabel use” of a VFD drug and is it allowed?“Extralabel use” is defined in FDA’s regulations as actual or intended use of a drug in an animal in a manner that is not in accordance with the approved labeling. For example, feeding the animals VFD feed for a duration of time that is different from the duration specified on the label, feeding VFD feed formulated with a drug level that is different from what is specified on the label, or feeding VFD feed to an animal species different than what is specified on the label would all be considered extralabel uses. Extralabel use of medicated feed, including medicated feed containing a VFD drug or a combination VFD drug, is not permitted.

Extra-label use of VFD feed (or any other medicated feed) is not permitted

VFD has to be kept for 2 years

Client’s responsibilities

What are my responsibilities as the “client”?As the client, a producer must:

only feed animal feed bearing or containing a VFD drug or a combination VFD drug (a VFD feed or combination VFD feed) to animals based on a VFD issued by a licensed veterinarian;

not feed a VFD feed or combination VFD feed to animals after the expiration date on the VFD;

provide a copy of the VFD order to the feed distributor if the issuing veterinarian sends the distributor’s copy of the VFD through you, the client;

maintain a copy of the VFD order for a minimum of 2 years; and

provide VFD orders for inspection and copying by FDA upon request.

Use of a VFD feed

How do I use a VFD feed?The VFD feed must be used according to the information specified in the labeling and on the VFD. This means for example that the feed can only be used for the indications and duration of use specified on the label and VFD, and in the animals at premises specified in the VFD. Furthermore, if the VFD authorizes use of a VFD drug in an approved combination, that combination also must be used according to the labeling and VFD.

What is the difference between an “expiration date” on the VFD and duration of use?While the VFD expiration date defines the period of time for which the authorization to feed an animal feed containing a VFD drug is lawful, the duration of use determines the length of time, established as part of the approval, conditional approval, or index listing process, that the animal feed containing the VFD drug is allowed to be fed to the animals. For example, in swine the currently approved VFD drug tilmicosin has a duration of use of 21 days and an expiration date of 90 days, which means the client has 90 days to obtain the VFD feed and complete the 21 day course of therapy.

As a client can I feed a VFD feed past the VFD expiration date?No. A VFD feed or combination VFD feed must not be fed to animals after the expiration date on the VFD.

My VFD order is set to expire before I can complete the duration of use on the order, what should I do? A VFD feed or combination VFD feed must not be fed to animals after the expiration date on the VFD. You should contact your veterinarian to request a new VFD order.

Center for Veterinary Medicine

Protecting Human and Animal H

ealth

A VFD feed can only be used under the professional supervision of a licensed

veterinarian

VFD drug and combination VFD drugWhat is a “VFD drug”?A”VFD drug” is a drug intended for use in or on animal feed that is limited to use under the professional supervision of a licensed veterinarian

What is a “combination VFD drug”?A "combination VFD drug" is an approved combination of new animal drugs intended for use in or on animal feed under the professional supervision of a licensed veterinarian, and at least one of the new animal drugs in the combination is a VFD drug. How do I know if a drug is a VFD drug, rather than an OTC drug?Read the label. All labeling and advertising for VFD drugs, combination VFD drugs, and feeds containing VFD drugs or combination VFD drugs must prominently and conspicuously display the following cautionary statement: "Caution: Federal law restricts medicated feed containing this veterinary feed directive (VFD) drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian." Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs do not have this statement.

VFD statementWhat is a VFD?A VFD is a written (nonverbal) statement issued by a licensed veterinarian in the course of the veterinarian’s professional practice that authorizes the use of a VFD drug or combination VFD drug in or on an animal feed. This written statement authorizes the client (the owner of the animal or animals or other caretaker) to obtain and use animal feed bearing or containing a VFD drug or combination VFD drug to treat the client’s animals only in accordance with the conditions for use approved, conditionally approved, or indexed by the FDA. A VFD is also referred to as a VFD order.

What is an “expiration date” on the VFD?The expiration date on the VFD specifies the last day the VFD feed can be fed.

VFD drug labeling and advertising must prominently and conspicuously display the VFD caution statement

“Caution: Federal law restricts medicated feed containing this veterinary feed directive (VFD) drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian."

What should be on a VFD order?

This information is required on a lawful VFD order:veterinarian’s name, address, and telephone number;client’s name, business or home address, and telephone number;premises at which the animals specified in the VFD are located;date of VFD issuance;expiration date of the VFD;name of the VFD drug(s); species and production class of animals to be fed the VFD feed;approximate number of animals to be fed the VFD feed by the expiration date of the VFD;indication for which the VFD is issued;level of VFD drug in the feed and duration of use;withdrawal time, special instructions, and cautionary statements necessary for use of the drug in conformance with the approval;number of reorders (refills) authorized, if permitted by the drug approval, conditional approval, or index listing;statement: “Use of feed containing this veterinary feed directive (VFD) drug in a manner other than as directed on the labeling (extralabel use), is not permitted”;an affirmation of intent for combination VFD drugs as described in 21 CFR 558.6(b)(6); andveterinarian’s electronic or written signature.

You may also see the following optional information on the VFD:a more specific description of the location of the animals (for example, by site, pen, barn, stall, tank, or other descriptor the veterinarian deems appropriate);the approximate age range of the animals;the approximate weight range of the animals; and any other information the veterinarian deems appropriate to identify the animals at issue.

A lawful VFD has to be complete

Obtaining a VFD feed

How does a producer obtain a VFD feed?Use of a VFD feed requires the professional supervision of a licensed veterinarian. Producers must obtain a VFD order from their veterinarian, then send, or take, the VFD order to a feed manufacturer or supplier to get the VFD feed. Producers who manufacture their own feed must have a VFD in order to get the medicated VFD feed to manufacture from. Producers who also manufacture feed for others should be aware that they are acting as a distributor and additional requirements apply. More information on manufacturing and distributing VFD feeds is available at: www.fda.gov/safefeed

What does professional supervision mean?The veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR) is the basis of professional supervision. Veterinarians who issue a VFD order must practice veterinary medicine in compliance with all applicable veterinary licensing and practice requirements, including issuing the VFD in the context of a VCPR as defined by the state. If applicable VCPR requirements as defined by such state do not include the key elements of a valid VCPR as defined by Federal law, the veterinarian must issue the VFD in the context of a valid VCPR as defined by the Federal law.

Plant Growth and PrecipitationIt’s been a pretty wet winter and spring, which will lead to significant plant growth early this summer. Soil

moisture is high, and won’t limit plants for quite some time. Research has shown that when precipitation falls has a lot to do with how well things grow, and April is a key precipitation month for future forage production.

Also, while it might seem like all this snow and rain should decrease our chances for a bad fire season, it’s more complicated than that. We know that there will be lots of herbaceous plant growth early in the season (fine fuels in fire lingo). If it stops raining mid-summer and those plants dry out, they can act as an efficient catalyst to move wildfire through our ecosystems.

While late summer rains don’t spur growth in our cool season species, they are sure a welcome relief to the dry season. As temperatures cool into the early fall, perennial grasses may re-grow if enough soil moisture is available. I’m sure we’re all tired of the wet weather, but we can be thankful for great early season growing conditions. Let’s hope for some periodic soaking rains this summer!
