Attendees of the WikiVet Launch

The WikiVet project was officially launched at MEDEV, Newcastle University. People from varying aspects of the Veterinary, Educational, Pharmaceutical and Medical professions attended the conference. Five people also attended the virtual conference, which made for an exciting yet interactive session. We feel that the launch was a great success and look forward to watching WikiVet grow.

Article of the Week - Chemical Hazards

Chemical contamination of foodstuffs can be due to their presence in the environment, or their intentional or unintentional application somewhere along the food chain. Some chemical toxins may occur naturally. Controlling chemicals which are only unintentionally present in the food chain is obviously difficult. Foodborne Chemical Hazards may be from the following categories:


Drug Residues

This category consists of:


  1. Veterinary Medicines.
    Veterinary Medicines, after being administered to an animal, will still be present in the animal's tissues (or food products) for a variable ammount of time depending on the drug & the species amongst other things. Drugs given to treat animals intended for food production, if licienced, will have a minimum withdrawal period which must be observed before the animal can go for slaughter (for meat withdrawal). Withdrawal periods also exist for other animal products, e.g. egg withdrawal, milk withdrawal, etc...This is to allow enough time for the drug to be excreted or metabolised sufficiently so that no drug or only insignificant ammounts will be present in any food derived from that animal.
