CHEMICAL RESIDUES and ANIMAL FIBERS Flashcards
this randomly samples tissues from animals at slaughter.
MONITORING
by comparison, sample tissues from animals suspected
of violative residues on the basis of clinical signs or herd history.
SURVEILLANCE
amount of veterinary drug, expressed
on a body weight basis, that can be ingested daily over a lifetime without an appreciable risk to human health.
Acceptable daily intake
maximal allowable concentration of total
residues of toxicologic concern in edible tissue.
SAFE CONCENTRATION
The safe concentration is calculated from the
ADI
maximal consideration of residue resulting from
the use of veterinary drug ( expressed in mg/kg or ug/kg on a fresh weight basis) that is legally permitted as acceptable in or on a food.
MRL, or tolerance
the edible tissue with residues that deplete to a
concentration below the MRL at a slower rate compared with other edible tissues. The target tissue is frequently the liver or the kidney.
target tissue
the period of time between the last administration
of a drug and the collection of edible tissue or products from a treated animal that ensures the total residues deplete to below the safe
concentration, and the marker residue depletes to below the MRL.

Pesticides residues in wool are influenced by many factors;
- Chemical and formulation used
- Method of application
- Rate and timing of the chemical application
- Length of wool at the time of application
Products types and chemical groups used;
- spray on products containing insect growth regulators.
