"The role of traditional Chinese medicine in pet medical care is constantly expanding"
Pet industry observation
Pet industry observation This was mentioned earlier that domestic pharmaceutical companies do not pay enough attention to pet medicine and their resource investment is also very limited, resulting in the current domestic pet medicines far from meeting the needs of pet diagnosis and treatment. In recent years, the country has successively issued a number of pet medicine-related standards, determined the special logo for "pets" veterinary drugs, and vigorously regulated the pet medicine market.
Just recently, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the People's Republic of China issued Announcement No. 610. The announcement stated that in order to further optimize the registration of veterinary medicines for pets, rationally utilize existing drug resources, accelerate the enrichment of veterinary medicines for pets, and better meet the needs of pet diagnosis and treatment, our department has organized research and formulated the "Registration Information Requirements for the Transformation of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Human Use to Traditional Chinese Medicine for Pets", which is now released and will be implemented from the date of publication.
Some industry insiders pointed out that based on my country's unique national conditions and cultural form, the pet traditional Chinese medicine market has been booming. Previously, some large-scale pharmaceutical companies were also trying to convert veterinary Chinese medicine into pets for research. The release of this standard may further increase the weight of traditional Chinese medicine in pet medical care and become a small trend in the future.
Also in the industry said that the most widely used treatment and health care chemicals currently play a great role in preventing and treating pet diseases, but due to factors such as sometimes difficult to diagnose pet diseases, long-term high-dose medication, and deterioration of organ functions in elderly pets, clinical veterinarians often suffer side effects when using chemical drugs.
Compared with the characteristics of safety, conditioning, targetedness, health care, etc., Chinese medicine is clinically welcomed by more clinical veterinarians, and the role of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and control of pet diseases in the future is increasing.
