OFA fully supports efforts to help combat antimicrobial resistance. However, OFA opposes the proposed changes to Regulation 730 under the Livestock Medicines Act that would remove medically-important antimicrobials (MIAs) from Livestock Medicine Outlets (LMOs). OFA recommends that LMOs be permitted to continue to sell MIAs with a valid veterinary prescription. OFA further recommends the government conduct a formal regulatory impact assessment of the proposed regulatory changes.
