Options for minimizing use of chemical compounds; non-pharm grade and controlled substances and challenges with using them in the field; use of drugs to facilitate handling rather than to control pain and implications for USDA categorization of animal activities; release of animals that have been exposed to chemical compounds in the field (including potential consumption by humans or other animals); challenges and options for non-veterinarians, particularly for use of controlled substances and extra-label use
