Abstract: Given the prominent position of Brazil as the largest exporter of beef the veterinary market for medicines is expanding with an increasing demand for new products which have to improve their efficacy as well as to meet the regulations in terms of food security and environmental preservation. However, considering the acaracides management in order to control the parasites infestation it is verified several problems ranging from the incorrect dosage in the product application to the improper condition of storage. In this process analytical methods need to be developed and validated to meet the demands of national and international regulatory agencies regarding registration of these products not only for adequate quality control of veterinary products as well as guarantee of food security conditions to consumers and preservation of environmental conditions on the use of these products. This study aims to study the stability of amitraz (C19H23N23) in veterinary products through the technique of analysis by infrared spectroscopy and Fourier Transform (FT-IR). The results and limitations of this method were investigated by analyzing the spectroscopic changes occurring inside and on the surface of the material and also is presented the sensitivity levels of the active principle as well as the small structural changes that may occur in the material.
