The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry #226 entitled ``Target Animal Safety Data Presentation and Statistical Analysis.'' The purpose of this document is to provide recommendations to industry regarding the presentation and statistical analyses of target animal safety (TAS) data submitted to the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) as part of a study report to support approval of a new animal drug. These recommendations apply to TAS data generated from both TAS and field effectiveness studies conducted in companion animals (e.g., dogs, cats, and horses) and food animals (e.g., swine, ruminants, fish, and poultry).
