With it being Farm Safety and Health Week, let's talk medication! Did you know that most medications have a meat and/or milk withdrawal (exception being EPA regulated products like fly control)? This is the time it takes for an animals body to process the medication, heal and become clear of the medication. Why is this important? Some medications we use are also used in people or some people may have allergies to these medications (like penicillin). We want to make sure the animal is free of these medications before it enters the food supply. Because of our high standards in the USA, residue testing is done at processing to assure our meat and milk are safe!
Here are some meat and milk withdrawal examples for dewormers! Note Eprinex and Cydectin are the only two with a zero day withdrawal!
