Residues of Drugs in Eggs After Medication of Laying Hens for Eight Days
Rester af lægemidler i æg efter 8 dages behandling af æglæggende høns
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica volume 16, pages 396–404 (1975)
Abstract
Drug residues in blood plasma, egg-white and -yolk have been measured for 3 weeks after 8 days of continuous treatment with sulphanilamide, sulphadimidine, sulphaquinoxaline and pyrimethamine. The results are discussed with reference to physiological data concerning eggwhite and -yolk formation. From this, it is concluded that a withdrawal period of at least 10 days after the disappearance of drug in blood plasma is necessary to avoid residues of drugs in eggs from treated hens.
Sammendrag
Lægemiddelkoncentrationen i blodplasma, æggehvide og -blomme er besternt i tre uger efter ophør af 8 dages kontinuerlig indgift af sulfanilamid, sulfadimidin, sulfabenzpyrazin og pyrimethamin til æglæggende høns. Disse resultater sammenholdes med de fysiologiske forhold, hvorunder æggehviden og -blommen dannes. På denne baggrund konkluderes, at tilbageholdelsestider på mindst 10 dage efter ikke målelige lægemiddelkoncentrationer i blodplasma må være et minimumskrav at stille til æg fra behandlede høns for at sikre konsumenterne mod rester af lægemidler i æg.
