Objective
The project is one of a series initiated at the request of the Commission's Agricultural Services (DG VI) to provide RMs in support of Community Policy banning the use of growth promoting compounds in farm animals and the Directives laying down requirements for monitoring of undesirable substances in farm animals and products in Member States (86/469/EEC).
The thyrostatics are substances with an anti-thyroid action which cause increased weight gain in cattle but without beneficial effect on edible meat (protein and fat). There are five thyrostats, tapazole and four 2-thiouracil derivatives, which could be administered in large regular doses in illegal treatment of cattle.
The objective of the project is to prepare samples of lyophilised urine and muscle of cattle:
- treated with thyrostatics
- never treated with thyrostatics.
These materials will then be used in intercomparison between the major national laboratories to improve methods and results.
STATUS
Selection of materials are completed and preliminary stability studies of urine RMs may be undertaken in 1992.
