Abstract

The Animal Drugs Inspection Branch of Animal Health Research Institute performed test to identify key veterinary drugs according Standard Operating Procedures outlined by the Veterinary Drugs Control and Veterinary Drugs Inspection mandates. The samples to be inspected were obtained in batches and random samples of commercial vaccines. 1,142 batches of animal vaccine were sampled and inspected in 2013; a compliance rate of 97% was detected. Poultry vaccines made up the largest subgroup of test vaccines followed by those used on swine. The compliance rate of random sampled in commercial vaccine was up to 100%, indicating that vaccine quality control guidelines were effective and that related industries’ compliance record overall was good. In response to the requirement of disease control in livestock and aquaculture industry, the random sampling and inspection targeting veterinary drugs was a crucial element in efforts to ensure high vaccine quality.

Keywords: veterinary biological drugs, analysis of inspection result, sampled in batches of vaccine, random sampled of commercial vaccine.
