This revised Compliance Policy Guide (CPG) is an update to the Compliance Policy Guide published in April 2001. The revised CPG represents the Agency’s current thinking on extralabel use of new animal drugs approved for use in or on animal feed (medicated feeds) (as defined in 21 CFR Sec. 558.3(b)(8)) for minor species (as defined in 21 CFR 516.3(b). Minor species are defined by exclusion as animals other than cattle, horses, swine, chickens, turkeys, dogs and cats. The CPG is intended to provide guidance to the field concerning the Agency’s exercise of enforcement discretion with regard to the extralabel use of over-the-counter (OTC) and veterinary feed directive (VFD) medicated feeds in minor species. It does not confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public.
