One unbroken trace from premix to treated animal

Sequencing and flush rules enforced before a batch starts, prescription limits treated as hard boundaries, and one unbroken trace from premix to treated animal. Validation-ready for Regulation (EU) 2025/2091, Regulation (EU) 2019/4 and 21 CFR Parts 225 and 226, and kept current with regulatory change as part of the product, at no extra cost.

Veterinary GMP is its own regulation now

For decades EudraLex Volume 4 covered human and veterinary manufacturing together. Since 16 July 2026 it does not. Two Commission Implementing Regulations carry veterinary manufacturing practice and veterinary active substance practice in their own right. The requirements remain close to human GMP, but guidance became binding regulation, and that changes the inspection posture rather than the paperwork.

Medicated feed is a second regime on top. Carry-over between batches, prescription validity, treatment duration and the prohibition on antimicrobial prophylaxis are all hard limits, and they are the limits an inspector tests first because they are the ones a production schedule quietly breaks.

The controls below run on the same compliance engine every industry uses.

Built for you

What's tailored for veterinary

Not just compliance mapping — here's where the modules themselves work differently for this industry.

Production

Sequencing rules block an unsafe production order before the batch starts, rather than warning about it after; flush and cleanout record themselves as evidence.

Quality

Withdrawal period computes and carries to the treated animal automatically, including cascade defaults under Article 115.

CAPA

Continuous signal management submits suspected adverse events on the 30-day clock, with the qualified person named on the file.

20 controls, 7 standards

Select a standard to filter

Append-only, hash-chained audit trail capturing old value, new value, author, time and reason
Sequencing rules enforced before the batch starts, blocking an unsafe production order rather than warning about it
Flush and cleanout recorded as evidence, with the flush batch held against the run it protects
Carry-over limits applied to non-target feed per Annexes I and III
Homogeneous dispersion verification with assay results attached to the batch
Prescription validity checked against statutory limits, six months for non food producing animals, three weeks for food producing and fur animals, five days for antimicrobials
Treatment duration capped, one month for standard medicated feed and two weeks where antibiotics are involved
Antimicrobial prophylaxis structurally refused, not flagged
Veterinary Feed Directive records with the issuing veterinarian, expiry and no-refill rule enforced
Assay sampling scheduled against the calendar year requirement, three representative samples per drug with one from the first batch
Master Record File and production records with unique batch identification and full tracing
Labelling proofread against the Master Record File, dated and attributed
Withdrawal period computed and carried to the treated animal, including cascade defaults under Article 115
Premix to medicated feed to prescription to holding to animal, held as one continuous trace
Maximum residue limit status held against each active substance
Continuous signal management with suspected adverse events submitted on a 30 day clock
Pharmacovigilance system master file maintained with a named qualified person
Role-based access control, down to the individual field
Segregation of duties enforced in the system, maker is never checker
Retention clocks by record class, five years, two years and one year, applied automatically

Regulatory change

We watch the regulations so you don't have to

Standards don't stay still. The Compliance Engine tracks every one that applies to you: when a rule changes, it tells you what it affects, updates the system, and re-validates before anything goes live. You don't file a change request. It's already handled.

Applied· 2026

Medicated feed regime built alongside the GMP split

Carry-over limits, prescription validity and the antimicrobial prophylaxis prohibition shipped as hard limits in the same release that split veterinary GMP from human GMP.

Applied· Since 16 Jul 2026

Veterinary GMP split from human GMP

EudraLex Volume 4 no longer covers human and veterinary manufacturing together. Two Commission Implementing Regulations now carry veterinary manufacturing practice and veterinary active substance practice in their own right — guidance became binding regulation.

Every update runs through the same validation discipline as the platform itself — tested against the workflows it touches before it reaches a single client's floor. Nothing ships because a regulation changed; it ships because the change passed.

Detail

Withdrawal periods the system computes

Where a product is used off-label under the cascade, Article 115 sets statutory minimums rather than leaving it to judgement. The pack applies them and records the result against the treated group.

One and a half times the longest authorised withdrawal period, where one exists
28 days for meat and offal where the product is not authorised for food-producing animals
7 days for milk
10 days for eggs
500 degree-days for aquatic species
One day, or 25 degree-days for aquatic species, for a zero-withdrawal product in a different taxonomic family
Detail

Three retention clocks, one plant

This is where veterinary operations most often drift, because the record classes look alike and the obligations do not.

Five years for US adverse event records under 21 CFR 514.80
Two years for Veterinary Feed Directive records held by veterinarians, distributors and clients
One year for medicated feed production, assay, distribution and drug receipt records under Part 225

Validation readiness

The controls above are enforced in the architecture, not configured on top of it.

  • Validation packs (URS, IQ, OQ, PQ, RTM, GAMP 5) are available on the Dedicated tier.
  • ISO 27001 certification is in progress.
  • Inspection readiness is scored continuously by the Compliance Engine, not assembled the week before an audit.

For the technical detail behind these controls — encryption, access control, audit trail mechanics and backups — see Infrastructure & Security. For what sits in each workspace, see Modules.
