Department of Agriculture (USDA) laboratories found 64 violative residues out of 3,385 samples of meat and poultry products tested during the first quarter of 1973. A total of 18,400 tests were run on these samples, according to meat and poultry inspection officials of USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS).

FDA has legal authority over animal feed ad ditives and drugs. APHIS conducts a three pronged drive to prevent violative residues from getting into the food supply. The first prong is random sample ’testing program to monitor normal' slaughter operations\Resul|s' Qf this survey give an indication 'of residue problems uuttie totnl livestock and poultry population. The second prong is similar to the first but is conducted in limited areas where the national survey has indicated there is the greatest chance of finding a specific residue. This phase of the monitoring program is not representative of the national situation. The third prong is the APHIS requirement of proof of com pliance for each flock or herd prior to slaughter if residues have been found in either of the survey programs. All such testing is at the owner’s expense and continues until APHIS is sure that no residue problem exists. In addition, selective samples are taken for analysis when an inspector finds an injection site or other sign that makes him supect that a residue might be present. During the quarter, APHIS took samples of liver, kidney, fat and muscle from bulls, steers, cows, heifers, calves, hogs, lambs, young and mature chickens and turkeys. Each sample was tested for one or more possible residues of pesticides, growth promotants, antibiotics or other animal drugs. DES - APHIS continued to monitor for diethylstilbestrol even though its use as a feed additive for cattle and lambs was banned by FDA on Jan. 1. It’s use as an implant also was banned recently. Of 1,547 samples taken in selected areas up to April 21, nine contained DES residues.

No DES residues were found in steer muscle, lamb liver or lamb muscle. ARSENIC - APHIS found residues of organic arsenicals in the livers of about 14 percent of the young chickens tested nationally last year. The sampling rate was increased to detect any widespread misuse of these feed additives. Of 902 samples analyzed during the first quarter of 1973, 5.3 percent (48) contained above one part per million of arsenic in liver tissue -- the tolerance set by FDA for this animal drug.. No ,’Violative residues were found in swine. In addition to DES and arsenic, APHIS found residues above tolerance levels of antibiotics in two calves, and five chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticide residues in various classes of livestock. ■tlHllfllMH DANIELS.
