The Task Force is telling
producers about STOP and
alerting them to potential
residue problems and their
responsibilities to use drugs
correctly and market
residue-free cows. About 2.5
million dairy cows are
slaughtered each year.
Dr. John E. Spaulding,
director of FSQS’s Residue
Evaluation and Surveillance
Division, said dairy
producers should follow
carefully the prescribed
withdrawal period on a
drug’s label. Some drugs
require as long as 30 days.
Dairy producers, Spaulding
said, should look at such
withdrawal times as
“minimums” not
“maximums” - and keep
their cows on the farm until
the withdrawal time has
expired.

Currently, FSQS plans to
have 182 screening sites
covering a total of 333 plants
when the program gets
underway.
When a violation occurs,
FSQS will notify the
producer and meat in
spectors will carefully ob
serve subsequent animals
from that producer as they
come to slaughter.
All incidents of illegal
residues are reported to the
Food and Drug Ad
ministration, which has
authority to investigate and
take regulatory action. If
problems persist, tighter
restrictions on use of an
tibiotic drugs could be im
posed.
Meanwhile, the possibility
of a screening kit for use by
farmers on the farm is being
explored so that they would
know definitely when
animals were free from
antibiotic residues and
ready for market.
