One system, three lenses

The same batch record — seen the way you run the plant.

For a B2B finished dosage form, treat or wet-food maker, the small wins compound with every super-sack. Finance sees higher yield on premium APIs and specialty combination products. Operations sees the next changeover clear the allergen and sanitation swab on time. Quality sees a CoA your customer's incoming QA will accept without a phone call.

The CFO view

Higher first-pass yield on premium APIs and specialty combination products — dispense drift squeezed, customer rejections killed, and true cost per carton finally on the page.

  • Per-batch actual cost: proteins, grains, premixes, packaging, labour and rework — visible in $, today.
  • Lower giveaway from gravimetric dispense and in-line tablet weight uniformity checks — no over-dispense of expensive API.
  • Fewer FDA / state feed-control findings from label-vs-batch drift and missing DSCSA + FDA CVM traceability KDEs.
  • Most veterinary pharma sites see V5 pay back inside year one and keep compounding.

Walk the process

From the FSVP-qualified API lot to the sealed vet carton & DSCSA + FDA CVM traceability traceability record — one formula-locked thread.

Follow one blend. Every step below is a single screen in V5 — and the FDA CVM cGMP, allergen matrix, kosher / halal / organic chain of custody and customer-specific spec library run underneath them all.

Step 01 · Approved grower, FSVP & receiving

Qualified grower, verified API lot, certification chain intact — before a pound reaches the granulator / tablet press.

Every meat meal, grain, fat, functional inclusion, vitamin, mineral and palatant is tied to a qualified supplier with a live grower CoA, allergen declaration, GFSI certificate and — for imported ingredients — a Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) record. Drums, fiber cartons, IBCs and pallets are barcode-scanned at goods-in, sampled per plan, and their certification status (kosher, halal, organic, non-GMO) is carried lot-by-lot into segregated stores. A missing CoA, an expired FSVP or a broken chain of custody rejects the pallet at the dock — not after it's dumped into the granulator feed.

Step 02 · Gravimetric dispense, granulate & compress & tablet weight uniformity

The only formula the line can run is the released, QA-approved MMR version — drift from the approved NADA label spec is physically impossible.

The approved formula snapshots into every work order — immutable, rev-locked and pinned to the current customer spec. Loss-in-weight feeders and gravimetric dispense verify each minor and micro ingredient to the gram. Granulator / tablet press screw speed, barrel temperature, moisture and SME stream to the batch record. Tablet weight uniformity samples pull automatically along the product stream, and a formulation change routes through QA and — where claim-affecting — the customer's approval before a new rev reaches the line.

Step 03 · Assay / dissolution, related substances, micro & nutrient assay

The batch can't ship until every approved NADA label attribute is green — and the reviewer sees every OOS in one place.

V5 runs a full cGMP LIMS in the same tenant — assay / dissolution (moisture, protein, fat, fiber, ash) by NIR and reference, loss on drying (LOD), particle size, tablet hardness / friability / weight uniformity, colour, amino acid and vitamin assay (HPLC, FTIR, ICP-MS), heavy metals (ICP-MS), residual solvents (GC-HS), elemental impurities (ICP-MS) and related substances (UHPLC), pesticide residue, allergen swab (ATP + protein-specific ELISA) and endotoxin micro (APC, Enterobacteriaceae, generic E. coli, E. coli O157:H7, Listeria, yeast and mould). Any OOS opens an investigation and blocks the next operation. Two-signature release — production and QA — closes the batch record before dispatch.

Step 04 · Bag-off, checkweigh & approved-label lockdown

One finished batch, one current-rev approved NADA label, one QA-signed bag — no drift between the bag and the batch.

Every printed HDPE bottle, blister card and shipper carton is filled by net-weight, checkweighed, metal-detected and labelled with the current-rev bag artwork — SKU, lot code, best-by, approved NADA label spec, feeding directions and any FDA CVM nutrient adequacy statement. At carton, V5 pins the current-rev approved NADA/ANADA label with lot, expiry, withdrawal time and NDC/serial to the approved carton and label artwork and to the released batch data. A formula change that would shift the approved NADA label spec forces a re-approved label proof — the line cannot run with a superseded label.

Step 05 · Dispatch, customer distribution & traceback

"If a supplier just flagged E. coli O157:H7 — which retailers, DCs and e-commerce FCs are exposed?"

Every pallet ships with the batch record, GS1-128 SSCC, chain-of-custody marks and a serialised carton manifest tied to the released blend lot. When a supplier flag, a customer complaint or an FDA CVM cGMP event triggers a stop-sale, V5's lot + carton tree paints the affected bag ranges and destinations — forward from the finished blend and backward to every input powder, premix, flavour and packaging lot that built it. A CoA retraction with the recall-notice pack drafts itself.

Running underneath · quality, FSMA PC & certifications

Quality, FSMA cGMP + FDA CVM oversight and approved-label control run through every batch — not stapled to the record at the end.

Incoming inspection, in-process checks, two-signature release, internal audits, CAPA, customer complaints, FSMA in-process control (IPC) monitoring records, FDA CVM inspection + EU CVMP audit substantiation and retailer-scheme evidence packs — all in one loop, all tied to the affected blend and input lot. Operators are blocked at the workstation if allergen or FSMA PC training has lapsed. Suppliers are blocked at goods-in if a CoA, FSVP or GFSI certificate has lapsed. Audit evidence — FDA FSMA inspection, SQF, BRCGS, FSSC 22000 and certifying-body — is a single indexed export.

What buyers ask us

The first six questions on every veterinary pharma RFP.

How does V5 keep the approved NADA/ANADA label with lot, expiry, withdrawal time and NDC/serial on the bag in sync with the batch actually made?
Each SKU has a current-rev approved carton and label artwork with the approved NADA/ANADA label with lot, expiry, withdrawal time and NDC/serial pinned to the released formula. V5 rolls up the actual proximate, vitamin and mineral results per batch and compares them to the label. A formula change or a assay / dissolution shift that would move the approved NADA label spec flags the artwork as out-of-date and routes a new label proof through QA and marketing before the next bag can print. There is no drift between what the bag says and what the batch actually is.
How does V5 handle FDA CVM cGMP and FSVP for imported ingredients?
21 CFR 210/211 + 21 CFR 226 cGMP controls for animal food (sanitation, grower, process, allergen where declared) live as structured records with monitoring, corrective action, verification and validation — all signed and version-controlled. FSVP hazard analysis, supplier verification activities and reassessment schedules are tied to each foreign supplier and ingredient. An expired FSVP verification blocks the pallet at goods-in, not after it is dispensed.
How does V5 handle DSCSA + FDA CVM traceability traceability KDEs and CTEs for a veterinary pharma lot?
Every DSCSA + FDA CVM traceability Critical Tracking Event (receiving, transformation, shipping) is captured automatically as the batch runs, with the required Key Data Elements — traceability lot code, product description, quantity, location, date and reference document. The 24-hour FDA sortable-spreadsheet export is one click, and forward + backward traces from a finished carton range to every API lot resolve in seconds — not the days a paper reconstruction takes.
Will V5 talk to our granulation / compression lines, fluid bed dryers, coating pans, metal detectors and packaging lines?
Almost certainly. We support OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT, REST, EDI and direct SQL — with working connectors for Wenger, Bühler, Clextral, Extru-Tech granulation / compression lines and sort tables; K-Tron, Coperion, Schenck, Acrison feeders; Bühler and CPM sifters; Sweco and Russell Finex sifters; Bunting and Eriez magnets; Mettler-Toledo Safeline, Loma, Anritsu, Ishida metal detectors / checkweigher + vision inspections; Concetti, Premier Tech, Haver & Boecker carton; and Videojet, Domino, Markem-Imaje, Zebra label printers.
We contract-manufacture private-label veterinary pharma for multiple brands on one line — how does V5 keep them separate?
Brand ownership is explicit on every formula, batch, e-signature and audit event. Each brand's formulas, approved NADA label library and approved carton and label artwork sit in their own tenant workspace with an audit-log wall between them, and QA sign-off routes to the correct brand's spec. A brand sees its batches and label history; the co-manufacturer sees the site — both defensible under 21 CFR 210/211 + 21 CFR 226 and brand supply agreements.
What about IT — validated change control, SOC 2 and GFSI / certifying-body audit prep?
Cloud-hosted in US and EU regions, SOC 2 controls, SSO (SAML / OIDC), full audit log and validated change-control process applied to every regulated screen. Where an SQF, BRCGS, FSSC 22000, FDA FSMA or state feed-control audit is scheduled, the evidence pack maps section-by-section — supplier program, formulas, dispense, granulate & compress, proximate, endotoxin, allergen, DSCSA + FDA CVM traceability traceability, recall — from released batch data.
