The North Dakota Department of Agriculture has the responsibility of ensuring the quality and safety of all animal drugs that are sold or distributed in the state. The objective of this program is to protect the health and safety of livestock and pets; maintain the integrity of animal bi-products intended for human consumption, and protect the consumers’ interests in the quality of products offered for sale.
State law requires that all livestock medicines be registered by the manufacturer or the person whose name appears on the label prior to being distributed or offered for sale. Registration information can be found below.
Livestock medicines include all devices, remedies, cures, tonics, powders, proprietary medicines, type A medicated articles, and similar preparations for the treatment or prevention of any disease of livestock, poultry, or other domestic animals. No person (company) may sell, offer, or expose for sale, have in possession with intent to sell, any livestock medicine which has not been registered by the commissioner for sale in this state. All livestock medicine registrations expire on June 30th of every even-numbered year.
Our partnership with Kelly Registration Systems has concluded. The North Dakota Department of Agriculture will now be managing livestock medicine registrations internally to enhance efficiency and provide a more streamlined experience.
What This Means for You:
- All services previously handled by Kelly Registration Systems will now be managed directly through the department using the Licensing and Registration System (LARS).
- While your existing account data has been preserved, a new login is required to access the system.
- You can expect continued excellence in service with responsiveness and support.
We appreciate your understanding and support during this transition. How to’ guides are available to help you get started, and as always should you have any questions, feel free to contact our office at 701-328-2655.
