AI SummaryVerified

This law tells us what counts as a “livestock drug” – basically any medicine or mix of medicines made to be given to farm animals.

Key Takeaways

•A livestock drug includes any single drug or a mix of drugs.
•It also covers proprietary medicines (brand‑name products).
•It applies no matter how the drug is given – by mouth, injection, on the skin, or any other way.

Example

A farmer mixes a liquid antibiotic with water and gives it to his chickens through their drinking water.

Because the medicine is meant for animals and can be given by mouth, it is considered a livestock drug under this definition.
