Beyond the label: extra-label drug use and food safety - Part 1

from The Herd Health Podcast · host Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health Canada Inc.

Using medications for food-producing animals is not always as straightforward as following the product label. In the first episode of this two-part discussion, host Dr. Tim Nickel is joined by Dr. Patricia Dowling, Professor Emeritus at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, and a founding member of the Canadian Global Food Animal Residue Avoidance Databank (CgFARAD). Together, they discuss the important differences between on-label and extra-label drug use, how withdrawal times are established, and why CgFARAD plays a critical role in helping veterinarians make evidence-based decisions that protect both animal health and Canada's food supply. || L'utilisation de médicaments chez les animaux destinés à l'alimentation n'est pas toujours aussi simple que de suivre les instructions figurant sur l'étiquette du produit. Dans le cadre de cet épisode en deux parties, le Dr Tim Nickel s’entretient avec la Dre Patricia Dowling, professeure émérite au Western College of Veterinary Medicine, Université de la Saskatchewan, et membre fondateur du Canadian Global Food Animal Residue Avoidance Databank (CgFARAD). Ensemble, ils discutent des différences importantes entre l'utilisation de médicaments selon et hors homologation, de la manière dont les périodes de retrait sont déterminées et du rôle essentiel que joue le CgFARAD pour aider les médecins vétérinaires à prendre des décisions fondées sur des données probantes qui protègent à la fois la santé des animaux et la chaîne d’approvisionnement alimentaire canadienne.
