Feed Mills
Elanco Animal Health commissioned GlobalVetLink to create electronic Veterinary Feed Directives for Swine Veterinarians and Feed mills. We are happy to announce new progress – Click Here
Legible Writing
Since all information is entered into GlobalVetLink electronically, there is no need to attempt to decipher illegible handwriting. All information is neatly arranged on the VFD and ready to be processed.
Electronic Documents
As eVFDs are generated by veterinarians for your feed mill, GlobalVetLink stores the certificates and emails them to a contact at your feed mill. Refill reminders are also emailed to the feed mill (if an email address is provided to GlobalVetLink) so that you can keep updated on orders that may need to be filled.
Recognized by the FDA
The Food & Drug Administration currently recognizes electronicVeterinary Feed Directives as a valid way to prescribe Pulmotil. Veterinarians no longer are required to fax the prescription to the feed mill as new FDA Guidance allows for a truly electronic process. Please see bottom of page 5, item 11, via this link:FDA Guidance 120
Feed mills may be added to the GlobalVetLink database to receive eVFDs electronically as GlobalVetLink swine veterinarians send electronic VFDs to mills. If you are currently receiving electronic VFDs via fax and would like to receive them via email, please call GlobalVetLink at 515-296-3779.
