New Zealand MPI — ACVM authorisation & registration portal
Primary source (first-hand, landed): MPI (Ministry for Primary Industries) *Authorisation of agricultural compounds and veterinary medicines (ACVM)* page. This confirms that MPI is the agency that administers the ACVM regime in New Zealand. It is an official agency navigation/summary page, not the statute — the governing Act is covered separately in NZ_ACVM_ACT_1997. The English text below is the verbatim C1-checked source.
Key facts (verbatim from the MPI page)
- The page sits under the MPI section "Agricultural compounds and veterinary medicines" and references "agricultural compounds and veterinary medicines (ACVM)".
- MPI provides "Authorisation of agricultural compounds and veterinary medicines (ACVM)" as the official entry point for the regime.
- Related MPI ACVM pages include "Importing veterinary medicines", "Veterinary medicines and the ACVM Act 1997", and "Agricultural compounds and veterinary medicines (ACVM) registers and lists".
- MPI signposts "approvals" for agricultural and horticultural product approvals under the ACVM improvements programme.
Relevance to pet food
ACVM authorisation is the regime under which pet-food additives and medicated-feed actives are approved/registered in New Zealand. This page establishes the administrative home (MPI) of that regime.
Honest gaps
- This is a navigation/summary page; it does not contain the statutory approval mechanics. Those live in the ACVM Act 1997 (see
NZ_ACVM_ACT_1997) and MPI's deeper sub-pages, which were blocked by an Imperva/Incapsula WAF even via relay and are honest-pending.
