In late May, the American Feed Industry Association engaged in opposition to Louisiana House bill 618, an act to amend the existing feed law and create a new requirement for the consideration of adulterated feed, which was not in alignment with the Food and Drug Administration or the Association of American Feed Control Officials' (AAFCO) model feed bill.
Last week, the American Feed Industry Association held a webcast for members to provide updates from the legislative and regulatory team. It covered a number of topics, including how the industry is responding to COVID-19 and what next steps include; a recap on state legislative activities; an update on progress made with speeding up the ingredient review process; the new AFIA-KSU online, on-demand feed training modules; a briefing on the upcoming Preventive Controls Qualified Individual course; and information on how members can advocate for issues affecting the industry.
LA H 618: Over the past three weeks, the American Feed Industry Association has been engaged in opposition to LA H 618, an act to provide for regulation of commercial feeds.
Due to COVID-19, most state legislative bodies are still on a limited work schedule, but some pieces of legislation of interest to American Feed Industry Association members are moving through committees.

Over the last several months, the American Feed Industry Association has been
working with our members, the Maryland Department of Agriculture and the Pet Food
Institute on finding a solution to the challenges presented with using menadione sodium
bisulfite complex (MSBC) as a source of vitamin K in animal foods other than poultry.

Last week, the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) brought state commissioners, secretaries, and directors of agriculture, as well as a variety of federal and industry stakeholders, together to discuss and set agriculture policy for the upcoming year.
