Use the right veterinary medicine, pigs and chickens do not make trouble!

1. What are veterinary antibiotics?

Antibiotics used in animals are "veterinary antibiotics", and farms often use antibiotics such as penicillin and cephalosporins, as well as fluoroquinolones, sulfonamides and quinoxaline synthetic antibiotics.

2. Why is it sometimes necessary to use multiple antimicrobials at the same time?
Sometimes animals are infected with so many disease-causing microbes that a single antibiotic does not work and multiple drugs have to be used. Sometimes two antimicrobials can "help each other", using less amount to achieve better antibacterial effect while reducing or avoiding side effects, the most typical example is the combination of penicillin and streptomycin. The joint attack of a variety of antimicrobial drugs can reduce the "fish that slip through the net" and avoid or delay the generation of bacterial resistance.
Of course, in most cases, only one antibacterial drug is needed, combined drug use is only suitable for a few cases, and generally two (two drugs), three, four is not necessary, should be strictly limited to the same category and antibacterial spectrum of the same antibacterial drugs used at the same time.
3.What is Veterinary Drug residue?
After the use of veterinary drugs in the animal breeding process, most of the veterinary drugs or their metabolites can be accumulated and retained in meat offal, milk, eggs and other livestock and poultry products, and these veterinary drugs remaining in food are veterinary drug residues.
4.What is the residue and elimination process of veterinary drugs in animals?
Veterinary Drug undergo absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion in animals. "Absorption" and "distribution" are the processes in which drugs enter the animal body to play a role and remain, and "metabolism" and "excretion" are the processes in which drugs are cleared from the animal body.
Under normal use, the vast majority of the drug is metabolized and excreted, and the residual level in the animal is very low.

5.What is the withdrawal period?
The "drug withdrawal period" refers to the interval between the time when the drug is stopped in the animal and the time when it is allowed to be marketed.
During this period, the drug residues in the animal body are gradually metabolized and excreted, and the residue level is reduced to below the limit value, and the safety of meat, eggs, milk and other animal foods is guaranteed. The metabolism of different drugs in the animal body is different, so the withdrawal period of different drugs stipulated by the national standard for veterinary drugs is also different.

6.What is the status of veterinary drug residues in China?
In recent years, with the continuous deepening of the quality and safety supervision of agricultural products, the intensity of punishment has been increased, and the abuse of Veterinary Medicine has been contained to a certain extent, and the overall situation of veterinary drug residues is good.
According to the national veterinary drug residue monitoring data organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the qualified rate of Veterinary Apis Drug residue in animal products such as livestock and poultry has reached more than 99% in recent years.
