Not a function of the VFD?

• A. Requires professional oversight
• B. Allows use without veterinary oversight
• C. Allows use in feed
• D. Limits use by CVM approved application

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is that a Veterinary Feed Directive is a regulatory mechanism that ensures medicated animal feed is used only with veterinary oversight. The VFD requires a veterinarian to issue a written authorization before medicated feed can be used, and the feed mill must follow the specifics of that order. This oversight is what keeps use within approved indications, durations, and withdrawal times, and it ties use to CVM-approved applications and labeling.

So the statement that would not be a function of the VFD is the ability to use medicated feed without veterinary oversight—because the VFD is specifically designed to require that oversight. The VFD does allow use in feed, but only under the veterinarian’s written order, and it limits use to CVM-approved indications and products.
