Flukicide residues – observing withdrawal dates and correct usage

For this week’s OviCast, we’re joined by Terry McElvaney, Veterinary Inspector with Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, to discuss some issues that have occurred with flukicide residues in lamb carcasses. 

 

We discuss the problems encountered and the follow up investigations with Terry explaining some of the issues caused and issues they have encountered. 

 

We also discuss the key areas to focus on when using anthelminthic and antibiotics to avoid these type of issues occurring.
