Use of Preventative & Therapeutic Drugs in Show Animals
Abstract
Various preventive and therapeutic medicines may be used for disease management in show market livestock and poultry. These include vaccines and bacterins, antibiotics and antibacterials, parasiticides and corticosteroids. Exhibitors of show animals must ensure that carcasses are free of violative and illegal residues of drugs, chemicals and feed additives. Therefore, only substances approved for the animal species being treated should be used, and these must be administered prudently. Compounds such as tranquilizers, local and systemic anesthetics, diuretics, caffeine and alcohol are not approved for show market animals
