Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal drug regulations to reflect approval of a new animal drug application (NADA) filed by Pfizer, Inc. The NADA provides for the veterinary prescription use of gonadotropin releasing factor-diphtheria toxoid conjugate by subcutaneous injection for temporary immunological castration (suppression of testicular function) and reduction of boar taint in intact male pigs intended for slaughter.
