Preventing Residues in Tissues and Milk- Craig Shultz

Ensuring the Wholesomeness of Food Animal Products

 Tissue Residues in Dairy Beef – (circa. 2005) • Surveillance to include non-antibiotic drugs  Flunixin – 2010 Proposed FDA Bulk Milk Sampling Milk Plan - • 26 animal drug residues • Not limited to antibiotics Tissue findings at slaughter drive expanded surveillance in milk

 7.7% of cattle slaughtered in the US are dairy cows – account for 67% of violative residues detected by FSIS in all slaughter cattle.

 Age at slaughter - inflammatory conditions Use – multiple lactations and parturitions Individualvalue – greater incentive to These factors increase the treat complexity of on-farm residue avoidance strategies.

 Complicated in the dairy cow Notsimply a matter of knowing the drug used and its minimum pre-slaughter withhold

 Other equally important factors: • Dosage • Duration of dosage • Route of administration • Use of multiple drugs over time in treating a chronic condition

 Compromised and debilitated animals do not metabolize and eliminate drugs as efficiently as those with normal bodily functions – a VCPR in the culling decision process is critical.

 Accurate treatment record-keeping Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationship Over-the-counter drugs • Must follow label directions exactly • If you change anything it is extra-label use and you must have a VCPR  Dosage  Duration of dosage  Route of administration VCPR is required for all prescription drugs

ANTE MORTEM CONDITIONS POST MORTEM CONDITIONS

 HACCP Final Rule for large plants (1998) Inspected establishment must : • identify hazards in its process • set critical control points with critical limits to control hazards If violative residues are an identified hazard • they must be addressed in HACCP Plan Goal – to reduce hazard to an undetectable level

 Under HACCP, Industry is responsible for • Addressing violations, • Reducing risks • Ensuring the safety of its product Industrymust trace violations, obtain corrective actions and prevent recurrence Industry is required to avoid high risk sources of animals

Feedback Loop ProducerAvoidance HACCP Violations Notification (Days) Slaughter Plant FDA Investigation (Months)

 Onlyhigh risk animals based on ante and post mortem presentation are screened • High quality dairy cows: 5-8% • Lower quality lean dairy cows : up to 15% Tissuesamples from screen-positive animals are submitted to a Federal laboratory for analysis • Identify specific residue in tissue • Amount of residue in tissue

 Violativeresidue levels may be restricted to a tissue (e.g. Kidney) or may involve entire carcass resulting in condemnation Cattle with high violation-risk conditions are screened even if they are condemned on post mortem inspection
