Abstract

As part of the food chain information, the farmer has to inform about administered veterinary medicinal products with withdrawal periods greater than zero within a “relevant period of time” before slaughter. This time period, which is not yet defined uniformly within the EU, is fixed at seven days for all farm animal species except for broilers in Germany.
