Who is responsible for approving the use of agricultural antimicrobials in Canada?
In Canada, the regulation of agricultural antimicrobials is the shared responsibility of Health Canada’s Veterinary Drugs Directorate (VDD) and the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA). In turn, the Feeds Section of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) ensures compliance of the manufacturing and sale of livestock feeds medicated with these antimicrobials.
