Digital Veterinary Feed Directives

VFDs

GlobalVetLink simplifies VFD management and communication.

Veterinary Feed Directives (VFDs) are written authorizations required for livestock producers and feed distributors when purchasing and distributing animal feed that contains antibiotics.

The GlobalVetLink platform enables consistent and streamlined VFDs for veterinarians, feed distributors and producers.

What is the process to create a Veterinary Feed Directive on the GlobalVetLink platform?

We curated a short step-by-step process to assist any veterinarian or member of the practice staff to easily create a Veterinary Feed Directive. We detail the steps starting at selecting a current client or creating a new owner in the system to downloading the final Veterinary Feed Directive PDF. Be prepared by having the animal location and species information, drug information and feed concentrations on hand when you start the process.

If you need additional support we offer live training sessions, our Help Center or watch our videos for saved in-depth training sessions and brief demo tutorials.

How do I obtain digital VFDs?

Ask your veterinarian if they offer GlobalVetLink VFDs for convenient and compliant VFD management. To find a veterinarian in your area, use our free Find-A-Vet search tool.

If your animal health practitioner is not listed, ask them to subscribe to GlobalVetLink, or contact us to let us know the clinic name, contact and location.
