Description
The major objective of this handbook is to compile-in tabular form-the pharmacokinetic parameters of antimicrobial drugs used in food animals. This unique publication represents data from the FARAD (Food Animal Residue Avoidance Databank) databank, established by the authors under the auspices of the U.S.D.A. and contains significant amounts of previously unavailable information. This updated, one-of-a-kind volume even features additional data on laboratory rodents, dogs, cats, and horses in order to facilitate broader interspecies extrapolations. This easy-to-use reference is timely as well as invaluable to animal scientists, veterinarians, pharmacologists, and toxicologists who work with antimicrobials in chickens, turkeys, dairy and beef cattle, swine, goats, and sheep.

A hardcopy version of the data available through the Food Animal Residue Avoidance Databank (FARAD), a computer-based system which provides information on drugs, pesticides, and environmental contaminants having potential to cause residues in food animal tissues. The system was established in 1982 by the US Dept. of Agriculture, and the information, constantly updated, is available to veterinarians through regional access centers for the purpose of preventing residue-contaminated animals and animal products from entering the human food supply. The chemicals are divided into three books based on the classification of the chemical involved. The present handbook contains information on antimicrobial agents as well as an introduction to pharmokinetic principles. Forthcoming volumes will cover other therapeutic agents and growth promotants, and pesticides and environmental contaminants. The tabulated display of data determined the horizontal 10x7" format.
