What farmers need to know about FDA guidance ending OTC antibiotics
Farm and Dairy ^ | April 4, 2022 | Rachel Wagoner

Beginning in June 2023, farmers won’t be able to buy any over-the-counter antibiotics for their animals. This will be a big change for farmers, many of whom are accustomed to doing much of their own veterinary care. Like it or not, farmers need to be prepared.

[snip]

The new FDA guidance recommends manufacturers of “medically important antimicrobials” that are currently available over-the-counter label their drugs available by prescription only. The guidance was finalized in June 2021 and will take effect in June 2023 nationwide.

That means farmers will need to have a veterinary-client-patient relationship, or VCPR, in order to get antibiotics like penicillin, oxytetracycline and erythromycin.

The new guidance does not require farmers to purchase antibiotics through their veterinarian, Alt said. People can use online pharmacies as long as they have a prescription.

The guidance also does not affect anti-parasitic drugs, said Scott Bowdridge, associate professor of food animal production at West Virginia University.

The guidance is part of an effort to combat antibiotic resistance, Busch said.

Just a coinkydink it comes about when people bought their own medications rather than bow at the alter of Fauci.

Get em while the getting’s good.

I ordered more just before posting this.

500mg oxytetracycline calf boluses

Years ago, my pulmonologist(!) recommended that I keep a supply on hand; and when, why, and how to use them!

Absolutely right: kill off the small farmers. Also prevent any human self-usage, as well.

Licensing protects big corporations like Mickey D’s, and the same guys who could stay open during the planned demic.

Bingo.

The AMA - an NGO that wields government-like power - is just an updated version of a Medieval Guild: protect territory, punish dissension, destroy competition.

The actual government ones are worse.

The USDA instituted Pasteurization long ago: to reap funds via fees and fines - not to keep us safe. (Ask the health-conscious Amish how dangerous fresh, raw milk really is.)

Scientists discovered that high heat made many nutrients less bio-available, or destroyed nutrients outright, especially what had become known as the Wulzen Anti-Stiffness (Anti-Arthritis) Factor, a cortico-steroidal hormone made only in plants, but found in raw dairy from pasture-fed (grass-fed, not grain-fed) livestock.

Scientists in the late 1940s banded together to try to have that substance proclaimed a Vitamin (an organic substance that cannot be manufactured in the body, and without which a deficiency state develops). Their action group was infiltrated by USDA undercover agents, and sabotaged from within.

Rosalind Wulzen developed a revolutionary experimental protocol over much of her career that proved that Pasteurized Milk promotes Arthritis, while Raw Milk mitigates (not only prevents, but actually reverses) Arthritis.

She has been relegated to literature limbo by the corporatists and apparatchiks: Raw Milk cuts into Big Gov and Big Farm control of money and power.
