This guidance provides target animal safety and effectiveness study design considerations and recommendations for sponsors of bovine mastitis drug products with antibacterial activity that are administered by intramammary infusion.  This guidance replaces the original guidance for industry (GFI) #49, issued in April 1996, entitled “Target Animal Safety and Drug Effectiveness Studies for Anti-Microbial Bovine Mastitis Products (Lactating and Non-Lactating Cow Products).”  Sponsors may propose alternatives, with appropriate justification, to the study designs described in this guidance.  CVM encourages sponsors to meet with us early in their investigational product development timeline to propose and agree on the appropriate study designs for their specific project.
