Chemical Residues, Contaminants and Microbial Control Programs
5.1 Please describe the control program of veterinary drugs and feed additives.5.1.1 Please describe the chemical residue control program at the national, provincial, and/or local levels. Is there any export program in place? Which agencies are responsible for the planning and implementing for national control program?
5.1.2 Please list the chemical residues and the maximum residue limits in your chemical residue plans and identify the target tissues or the target samples (for further processed products) to be analyzed, by species, for each specific residue compounds.
5.1.3 Please submit a copy of your annual residue program/plan/project, which might be monitoring, surveillance or other special testing program/plan/project in place.
5.1.4 Please describe the design of the residue program/plan/project for animals for further processed products to be tested for residues, including sampling size and location. Indicate whether the sampling is based on random sampling and/or the statistical significance expected of the residue conclusions or whether the sampling plan is based on non-statistical design principles. In both cases, indicate the objectives of the residue program/plan/project.
