It is the umbrella law for veterinary-drug production, operation, use and supervision. A veterinary-drug production license is valid 5 years and must be re-applied 6 months before expiry. Veterinary-drug trading enterprises must keep purchase/sales records and are barred from dealing in human drugs or counterfeit/inferior veterinary drugs.
