Drug residue considerations for anesthetics and adjunctive drugs in food-producing animals
1Department of Anatomy, Physiological Sciences, and Radiology, College of Veterinary Medicine, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, USA.
Abstract:
This article is a summary of residue concerns for anesthetics and anesthetic adjuncts used in food animals. The risks associated with residues of these drugs in food-producing animals, as well as the veterinarian's responsibility to reduce this risk, are discussed. The potential for residues and suggestions for prevention in each of the major anesthetic drug classes are described. Suggested withdrawal times are proposed for nonapproved drugs used off label. Each class of drug is summarized in the tables.
