New Animal Drug Applications; Sheep as a Minor Species

Краткое содержание

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its regulations to reclassify sheep as a minor species for all data collection purposes. This would allow sponsors of supplemental new animal drug applications (NADA's) to extrapolate human food safety data from a major species such as cattle to sheep. In particular, this will allow the extrapolation of the tolerances for residues of new animal drugs in cattle to sheep.
