About the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine
The Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) regulates the
manufacture and distribution of food additives and drugs that will be given to
animals. These include animals from which human foods are derived, as well as
food additives and drugs for pet (or companion) animals. CVM is responsible for
regulating drugs, devices, and food additives given to, or used on, over one
hundred million companion animals, plus millions of poultry, cattle, swine,
sheep, and minor animal species. (Minor animal species include animals other
than cattle, swine, chickens, turkeys, horses, dogs, and cats.)
