The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal drug regulations to reflect approval of a supplemental new animal drug application (NADA) filed by Pennfield Oil Co. The supplemental NADA provides for the use of fixedcombination Type A medicated articles containing oxytetracycline and neomycin sulfate to formulate two-way, fixed-combination drug Type B and Type C medicated feeds for chickens, turkeys, swine, cattle, and sheep. This approval reflects FDA’s effectiveness conclusions which relied on the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council (NAS/NRC) Drug Efficacy Study Group’s evaluation of the effectiveness of these drugs when used in animal feed as single ingredients

Effective Date: This rule is effective August 13, 2009
