Overview

Veterinary drugs play an important role in the production and welfare of livestock and poultry. Incorrect use or the shortening of the withdrawal time after treatment can possibly lead to the presence of residues in animal tissues and related foodstuffs. Most countries have regulatory approval systems in place which establish which veterinary drug treatments are permitted and set Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs). The use of non-approved medicines is prohibited. 

Waters solutions help support food laboratories in efficiently screening or confirming samples, ensuring consumer safety, and facilitating trade through checking regulatory compliance.
