Chemical analysis of non-antimicrobial veterinary drug residues in food

Provides a single-source reference for readers interested in the development of analytical methods for analyzing non-antimicrobial veterinary drug residues in food Provides a comprehensive set of information in the area of consumer food safety and international trade Covers general issues related to analytical quality control and quality assurance, measurement uncertainty, screening and confirmatory methods Details many techniques including nanotechnology and aptamer based assays covering current and potential applications for non-antimicrobial veterinary drugs Provides guidance for analysis of banned drugs including natural and synthetic steroids, Resorcylic acid lactones, and Beta-agonists Content: Basic Considerations for the Analyst for Veterinary Drug Residue Analysis in Animal Tissues / James D MacNeil, Jack F Kay -- Emerging Techniques in Sample Extraction and Rapid Analysis / Wendy C Andersen, Sherri B Turnipseed, Jack J Lohne -- Capabilities and Limitations of High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS): Time-of-flight and Orbitran / Anton Kaufmann, Phil Teale -- Hormones and [beta]-Agonists / Leendert A Ginkel, Toine Bovee, Marco H Blokland, Saskia S Sterk, Nathalie GE Smits, Jelka Pleadin, Ana Vuli -- Analysis of Anthelmintic and Anticoccidial Drug Residues in Animal-Derived Foods / Sarah Tuck, Ambrose Furey, Martin Danaher -- Sedatives and Tranquilizers / Vesna Cerkvenik Flajs, James D MacNeil -- The Use of Pyrethroids, Carbamates, Organophosphates, and Other Pesticides in Veterinary Medicine / Christine Akre -- Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs / Joe O Boison, Fernando J Ramos, Alan Chicoine -- Certain Dyes as Pharmacologically Active Substances in Fish Farming and Other Aquaculture Products / Eric Verdon, Wendy C Andersen -- Method Validation and Quality Assurance/Quality Control Approaches for Multi-residue Methods / Andrew Cannavan, Jack F Kay, Zora Jandri. A key aim of regulating the use of veterinary drugs is to ensure that authorized products are used responsibly in animals and that their residues in food of animal origin do not pose unacceptable health risks to consumers. To assist in this process, robust and validated analytical methods to detect a wide range of potential residues in food matrices are required. The earlier volume in this series, Chemical Analysis of Antibiotic Residues in Food, was published in 2012 and set out in detail how drug safety is considered and limits are set for their residues in foods. It also described how residue monitoring programs are established and checked to ensure sound results are generated to inform necessary regulatory actions to protect consumers. The purpose of this current book, Chemical Analysis of Non-antimicrobial Veterinary Drug Residues, is to update readers on developments in technology and approaches since the publication of the earlier volume. It also seeks to expand the coverage of veterinary drug residues to all other key areas of veterinary drug treatments, thus providing a comprehensive two-volume set for reference and training purposes
