USDA would exempt organic use of two pesticides as animal drugs

摘要

USDA'S National Organic Program (NOP) published in the May 5 Federal Register a proposed rule that would exempt the use of two synthetic substances in organic livestock production: fenbendazole and moxidectin. These animal drugs are specifically proposed for use as parasiticides, consistent with the recommendations of the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB), which provides policy advice to the NOP.
