Drug laws and regulations for sheep and goats. Academic Article

abstract

• This article reviews laws and regulations related to drug use in sheep and goats, with special reference to the United States. The discussion includes drug licensing procedures, legalities of extralabel drug use, withdrawal time estimation, and residues in sheep and goat tissues; it refers also to regulations related to organic production, dairy production, and compounding. Canadian and European regulations are mentioned. Veterinarians working with sheep and goats must be familiar with regulations governing use of drugs, to prevent legal action, fulfill their fiduciary responsibility to producers, and help protect and provide for a wholesome and safe food supply.
