[QUOTE="chippie, post: 1133612, member: 5644"] Residue avoidance testing is now done at most county fairs and major stock shows. All market species are tested at our fair - rabbits, poultry, lamb, swine, goat and beef. The animals are tested to make sure that they do not have any drugs in their system at show time. Sometimes unethical people will give an animal a drug that is not approved for it's species to enhance it's growth or give it medicine that is not approved for the species. If an animal gets sick, it is OK to give it medicine that is approved for it's species. But you need to check with your veterinarian about it. All drugs have a withdrawal time. That means that you have to wait so long before slaughtering it. That is to ensure the safety of the food product. If you show, be sure to read all of the rules including the General Rules, not just the ones about your species or project. [/QUOTE]
