Residue Studies

Food chain safety is an extremely important consideration when veterinary medicines are used in a food producing species. We can undertake residue depletion studies in all food producing animals to generate edible tissue residue depletion data to assist in the setting of withdrawal periods.

At Huntingdon Life Sciences, our Department of Large Animal and Avian Studies provides an extensive and fully equipped range of accommodation for farm and companion animals, adaptable for either group or individual housing.

  • Cattle, lactating dairy cows, sheep, goat
  • Poultry: chickens, turkeys, ducks
  • Pigs
  • Rabbits

Our Residue Analysis Team are experienced in developing and validating analytical methods for active ingredients and marker residues in all animal matrices. They have a wide range of state of the art analytical techniques available for sample extraction, clean-up and analysis using HPLC, GC, LC/MS/MS, immunoassay, microbiological assays, etc.

We can provide a fully integrated study incorporating:

  • In-life phase
  • Sample analysis, edible tissues, milk, eggs
  • Data analysis and interpretation
  • QA audited integrated report
  • Expert report writing

Time and money can be saved by utilising our in-house methods for analysis of many of the common veterinary medicines.
