Veterinary Pharmacovigilance Toxicology Testing in Food Animals
In the realm of veterinary pharmacovigilance toxicology testing within food animals, ensuring the safety and efficacy of pharmaceuticals is paramount. This service focuses on identifying potential adverse effects of drugs used in livestock to ensure that they do not pose risks to human health through contaminated food products.
The process involves several critical steps. Initially, we assess the need for pharmacovigilance testing based on clinical observations and literature reviews. We then select appropriate animal models that closely resemble the intended use of the drug in livestock. This ensures that our findings are relevant and applicable to real-world scenarios.
Specimen preparation is meticulous; it involves collecting samples from various parts of the animals, including blood, tissue, and urine. These specimens undergo rigorous laboratory analysis using advanced analytical techniques such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for precise quantification of drug residues.
The scope includes not only identifying the presence but also determining the concentration levels of drugs in food animals. This helps in establishing safe withdrawal periods to prevent residue accumulation in meat, milk, and other edible products. Compliance with international standards like ISO 15217-1 ensures that our testing meets global quality benchmarks.
Our methodology is comprehensive and includes both preclinical trials and post-market surveillance. Preclinical trials involve extensive in-vivo studies to understand how the drug behaves within the animal’s body, while post-market surveillance monitors for any unforeseen side effects after the drug has been approved for use.
The acceptance criteria are stringent, ensuring that only safe levels of drugs reach market shelves. This not only protects consumers but also maintains trust in the agricultural industry. The service is designed to support regulatory compliance and ensure public health safety.
