Residue Avoidance in the Veal Industry

Abstract

The right to use drugs in an extra label fashion, concurrent with a valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship, has given veterinarians an awesome responsibility. Veterinarian must not take that responsibility lightly. Each individual practitioner must establish his or her own guidelines to determine what circumstances necessitate the Extra Label Use (ELU) of drugs. The primary challenge of ELU is determining the withdrawal times necessary to avoid residue problems.
