Pharmacological and legal aspects of the drugs in modern animal husbandry

In modern conditions, the responsibility of the farmer and veterinarian to ensure the proper quality of livestock products by observing the deadlines for the withdrawal of medicinal products is increasing, especially in cases of unauthorized use of medical therapeutic agents. The purpose of the study was to get acquainted with the pharmacological and legal aspects of the use of medicinal products in modern animal husbandry and to determine the role and tasks of the veterinarian in ensuring the quality and safety of products of animal origin. An analysis of legal acts of various countries regulating the use of medicinal products outside of the instructions in modern animal husbandry was carried out. The analysis of the results of the study allows us to state that in view of the intensifcation of animal husbandry and the prospects for the development of trade in products of animal origin within the framework of the WTO and with EU countries, the issue outside the instructions for the use of medicinal products for farm animals in Ukraine requires attention. The attitude to the use of medicinal products should be reflected in the relevant legal acts regulating the work of veterinary medicine doctors. In Ukraine, the main document for veterinary medicine regarding the rules for the use of veterinary drugs is the Law "On Veterinary Medicine". According to it, it is allowed to use for farm animals only medicines entered in the state register. An important task of the pharmacological support of the animal husbandry industry should be the study of the pharmacokinetics of drugs in cases of their use in animals outside of the instructions. We believe that the further study of the experience of European countries in solving the issue of pharmacological support for the production of livestock products and the development of regulatory documents in Ukraine is a promising direction of research.

Key words: animal husbandry, product safety, medicinal products, instructions, application.
