USCA continues to support the freedom to utilize valuable and proven medicines that ranchers rely on to keep livestock herds healthy. USCA supports the responsible use of antibiotics. USCA Opposes S. 541/HR 1094 Safeguard American Food Exports Act- A bill to prevent health threats posed by the consumption of equines raised in the U.S.USCA opposes H.R. 1150/S. 1256 "Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act of 2013" as it restricts delivery of potentially needed antibiotics within the industry. USCA opposes the regionalization of those regions in South America, notably Argentina and Brazil, for the purpose of importing meat, as it will allow for the potential introduction of Foot and Mouth Disease within the United States. USCA opposes the proposed notice by the USDA-APHIS that would allow for trade into the US from 14 states within Brazil. USCA opposes the proposed change as offered by USDA-APHIS that specifies a change in classification regading FMD to regions within Argentina, Patagonia South and Patagonia North B. USCA opposes the proposed notice as offered by USDA-APHIS to allow for the importation of meat from regions in Argentina, Patagonia South and Patagonia North B, given the prior notice which announced a change in classification of these regions as pertaining to their FMD status. USCA supports an extension in the current comment period for this proposed rule.
