"I look forward to him starting in March and transitioning many of my day-to-day responsibilities to him as I focus on leading AFIA's public policy efforts. He has a tremendous skillset that will blend well with our current efforts and staff."

The new director will be responsible for medicated feed, the veterinary feed directive, AFIA's Equine and Nutrition committees, technical science issues and assisting with the legislative and regulatory efforts with the Association of American Feed Control Officials, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, state legislative and regulatory concerns for the southeastern U.S., and the Food Safety Modernization Act.

Buff earned a bachelor's degree in biology from Southwest Missouri State University, and a master's degree and a doctorate in animal sciences from the University of Missouri.
