Download ACVM REGISTRATION STANDARD AND GUIDELINE FOR EFFICACY OF ORAL REHYDRATION THERAPY

Efficacy of a veterinary medicine is understood to be the degree to which the medicinal
claims made by the applicant have been justified and are likely to be attained under
practical field conditions within New Zealand. The need for an efficacy standard arises
from section 4 of the Agricultural Compounds and Veterinay Medicines (ACVM) Act
1997, which provides for prevention or management of risks associated with the use of
agricultural compounds:
• risks to trade in primary produce; and
• risks to animal welfare; and
• risks to agricultural security.
