Abstract

Certain considerations must be taken into account whenever one decides to administer a drug to a food animal. Some issues are relevant to drug use in any species, while others are specific for drug use in food animals. General principles of drug use in food animals are discussed, including withholding time, appropriateness of drug choice, and the potential for adverse effects. Some specific drug classes and compounds are discussed in order to provide examples of the factors that go into therapeutic decision-making.
