Will veterinary drug residues affect our health?

 In fact, veterinary drugs are not terrible.
The rational use of veterinary drugs in accordance with the regulations will not cause health hazards.
The real danger is the abuse of veterinary drugs
.
Just as people often have headaches and brain fever, animals are inevitably sick.
If they are not treated in time, they are likely to threaten their own health, affect the quality and safety of products, or cause a large-scale epidemic or even affect humans
.
 Moreover, veterinary medicine not only includes antibiotics, chemicals and other items for curing diseases, but also includes vaccines, diagnostic products, disinfectants, and so on
.
Therefore, veterinary drugs are inevitable in the process of animal breeding
.
Generally speaking, after administering drugs to animals, veterinary drugs will undergo several processes of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion in the animal's body.
When the drugs are administered according to specifications, most of the veterinary drugs will be metabolized and excreted, and the amount of veterinary drugs remaining in the body is small
.
 However, if veterinary drugs are abused, some drugs or their metabolites may remain in the edible parts of animals such as meat, eggs, and milk, resulting in serious veterinary drug residues
.
Long-term consumption of food with excessive veterinary drug residues may bring adverse effects to the human body such as allergic reactions, chronic toxicity, and imbalance of gastrointestinal flora
.
 In order to curb the abuse of veterinary drugs and effectively ensure the production safety of the breeding industry and the quality and safety of animal products, China established the National Committee of Experts on Veterinary Drug Residues and Drug Resistance Control in 2017.
Supervise measures, formulate and continuously improve regulations and standards related to veterinary drug management, and regularly formulate and implement veterinary drug residue monitoring plans for animals and animal products, irregularly sample veterinary drug residues in animal foods, trace the source of products that exceed the standard, and follow the law.
Processing
.
 According to the national veterinary drug residue monitoring data organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, in recent years, the overall status of veterinary drug residues in animal products such as livestock and poultry in China is relatively good, and the product qualification rate can reach more than 99%
.
Therefore, as long as you remember, buying animal foods from regular channels and maintaining a diverse and balanced diet can greatly reduce the chance of exposure to veterinary drug residues.
You don't have to worry about "medication" when you eat meat
