Regulatory considerations in the United States

Abstract

The author's interpretation of some of the regulations involved in drug selection and usage by bovine veterinarians has been presented here. If necessary, the practitioner should address further questions to the appropriate regulatory agencies. The role of the veterinarian in protecting the US food supply has never been more critical, and familiarity with the applicable regulations regarding drugs used in food animals is an important component of the food animal veterinarian's knowledge base.
