Veterinary drugs refer to substances (including medicinal feed additives) used to prevent, treat, diagnose animal diseases, or purposefully regulate animal physiological functions.Veterinary drugs mainly include: serum products, vaccines, diagnostic products, micro ecological products, Chinese medicinal materials, traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations, chemicals, antibiotics, biochemical drugs, radioactive drugs, external pesticides, disinfectants, etc.
Veterinary drugs can be roughly classified into four categories: ① general disease prevention and control drugs; ② Infectious disease prevention and control drugs; ③ In vivo and in vitro Parasitic disease prevention and treatment drugs; ④ (including growth promoting drugs).Except for biochemical immune products (vaccine, vaccine, serum, antitoxin, Toxoid, etc.) for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, as well as special veterinary drugs such as livestock and poultry Parasitic disease drugs and growth promoting drugs, the rest are the same as those for human use, except for the difference in dosage, dosage form and specifications. It has long been widely used for the prevention and control of livestock and poultry diseases.
Among veterinary drugs, more than 20 kinds of drugs are commonly used, such as Metamizole, Amoxicillin, florfenicol, ceftiofur, Oxytetracycline, Chlortetracycline, Bacitracin, salinomycin, monensin, and myxin.The main types of veterinary drug preparations are commonly used injections, but the specifications are several times larger than those for human use. Oral veterinary drugs are often in the form of powders or microcapsules as feed additives, mixed into the feed for free consumption by livestock and poultry.Assimilating hormones can increase the benefits of animal husbandry, mainly by making implants for subcutaneous implantation. Transdermal preparations and medicated baits suitable for aquaculture are both emerging.
In the early stages of animal husbandry development, making every effort to prevent and control animal diseases and reduce animal mortality is the top priority of veterinary medicine. Therefore, veterinary medicine does not matter the harm, as long as the efficacy;At present, due to the complexity of animal diseases, veterinary drugs bear the task of preventing and promoting growth, as well as controlling drug residues and costs. Therefore, efficient, low toxicity, and low residue veterinary drugs are the development direction;In the future, with the reduction of animal infectious diseases, the use of veterinary drugs to treat diseased food animals has become meaningless, and the use of non-toxic and residue free veterinary drugs has become a development direction.
The veterinary drug industry in China is facing a new development situation. Due to the increasing number of new entrants and the continuous increase in upstream raw material prices, the industry’s profits have decreased. Therefore, the market competition in the veterinary drug industry in China is becoming increasingly fierce.Faced with this situation, enterprises in the veterinary medicine industry should actively respond, focus on cultivating innovation capabilities, continuously improve their own production technology, and strengthen their competitive advantages,At the same time, enterprises in the veterinary medicine industry should also comprehensively grasp the market operation trend of the industry, continuously learn the latest production technology of the industry, understand the national policies and regulations of the industry, and grasp the development trends of competitors in the same industry,Only in this way can enterprises fully understand the development trends of the industry and their position in the industry, and formulate correct development strategies to achieve a leading advantage in the fierce market competition.
