Uruguay Gazettes Updated Cattle Tick-Product Testing Procedure

Uruguay’s Official Gazette of 21 October 2026 lists DGSG Resolution 241/026, approving Version 3 of the official stable-test procedure for cattle tick-control products. The publication is a gazettal follow-up for veterinary-product manufacturers: the resolution was signed on 14 October, and the ministry’s resolution page carries that earlier date. Fixed Gazette index; ministry record.

Official Veterinary-Product Trials

The resolution makes PR-PAR-02 Version 3 mandatory for official trials assessing efficacy and residual activity of cattle tick-control products, regardless of active ingredient or formulation, when conducted by the veterinary laboratories division, DILAVE, or under its supervision. It does not itself approve individual products. Signed resolution.

The attached procedure addresses trial conduct, efficacy assessment and residual activity. Results must confirm information supplied in the product dossier. It also states that commercial labels must show the application frequency for eradication use, determined by the health authority from official efficacy testing. Approved procedure.

Earlier Registration Framework

The resolution operates within the veterinary-product registration and control framework established by Decree 160/997. The procedure also references an earlier protocol approved through DGSG Resolution 153/17 A. The signed resolution specifies no new filing deadline, grace period or separate calendar commencement date. Resolution and attachments.
