The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal drug regulations to reflect approval of a supplemental new animal drug application (NADA) filed by Alpharma, Inc. The supplemental NADA provides for the use of decoquinate Type A medicated articles to make Type C medicated feeds for cattle, sheep, and goats at a broader range of concentrations for the prevention of coccidiosis.
Alpharma, Inc., One Executive Dr., P.O. Box 1399, Fort Lee, NJ 07024, filed a supplement to NADA 39-417 that provides for use of DECCOX (decoquinate) Type A medicated articles to make Type C medicated feeds for cattle, sheep, and goats at a broader range of concentrations for the prevention of coccidiosis caused by various Eimeria species. The NADA is approved as of September 4, 2002, and the regulations are amended in 21 CFR 558.195 to reflect the approval. Section 558.195 is also revised to reflect a current format.
