Proposed legislation could change the way feed ingredients are regulated in the U.S. American Feed Industry Association Vice President of Public Policy and Education Leah Wilkinson says the Innovative FEED Act would give the Food and Drug Administration clear authority to regulate feed ingredients that impact the environment for animal production and ingredients that impact animal gut health. “Right now we are limited in that ability and they are regulated as animal drugs,” said Wilkinson. “Our industry feels that’s not appropriate since they are feed ingredients.” AFIA hopes to add more support to these bills this year.
