inor use drugs are drugs for use in
major species (cattle, horses, swine, chickens, turkeys, dogs, and
cats) that are needed for diseases that occur in only a small
number of animals annually either because they occur infrequently
or in limited geographic areas. Minor species are all animals other
than humans that are not major species, for example, zoo animals,
ornamental fish, parrots, ferrets, and guinea pigs. Some animals of
agricultural importance are also minor species. These include
animals such as sheep, goats, catfish, and honey bees.
Participation in the MUMS program is completely optional for drug
sponsors so the associated paperwork only applies to those sponsors
who request and are subsequently granted ‘‘MUMS designation.’’ The
rule specifies the criteria and procedures for requesting MUMS
designation as well as the annual reporting requirements for MUMS
designees.
