Veterinary medicinal residues in food – global regulations, monitoring, and testing

Veterinary medicinal products (VMPs) are essential for animal welfare and husbandry. They are used to treat disease in an individual animal, or to treat or prevent the outbreak of disease in a flock or herd. Due to risks associated with the use of VMPs, such as antimicrobial resistance, it is essential that VMPs are assed, authorized and controlled appropriately.

Explore current regulatory principles and requirements for VMPs – including control of VMPs and surveillance of drug residues, as well as testing methods and international trade approval for food exporters.
