Animal Drug and Feed Regulations
Animal Drug and Feed Regulations
Animal Drug Regulations
The CVM regulates animal drugs, with key differences from human drug development:
- Animal drugs move directly from lab to target species without extended timelines.
- Only one pivotal clinical trial is required, with smaller trials beforehand.
- Generic animal drugs do not need to match the innovator’s formulation and require clinical trials.
- Our laboratory conducts all required testing without the use of animal subjects
Animal Feed Regulations
Medicated feeds, combining FDA-approved drugs and food, must meet the same safety and efficacy standards as animal drugs. Livestock treated with medicated feed require residue testing to ensure human food safety. Element provides comprehensive animal health testing to ensure compliance with CVM regulations for purity, safety, and accurate labelling.
Standards we test to and products we test
- EPA Series 830
- FDA/CVM guidelines
- GLP and cGMP standards
- Animal drugs and pharmaceuticals
- Medicated feeds and supplements
- Insecticides and pest control products
- Feed additives
- Packaging materials
