Description: The monographs in this volume summarize data on the veterinary drug residues that were evaluated toxicologically by the Committee, which included three antimicrobial agents (cefuroxime, flumequine and pirlimycin), two insecticides (cyhalothrin, and cypermethrin and alpha-cypermethrin) and one production aid (ractopamine). The Committee also evaluated the safety of low levels of the antimicrobial agent chloramphenicol in animal products. This volume and others in the WHO Food Additives Series contain information that is useful to those who produce and use food additives and veterinary drugs and those involved with controlling contaminants in food, government and food regulatory officers, industrial testing laboratories, toxicological laboratories, and universities.
