[QUOTE="somn, post: 423352, member: 3721"] I was hoping that wouldn't go in one ear and out the other but it looks like it must have. The tissue most commonly used for testing is the kidney. There is your edible tissue. As I stated before detection of drug residue in no way proves positive that those cattle had been slaughtered within the withdrawl period. Unhealthy cattle have poorly functioning organs. If 2 cattle are treated at the same time and slaughtered on the same day the healthy animal will show no drug residue and a sick one can show drug residue. Anyone who thinks just because they have withheld from slaughter an animal for the length of the withdrawl period that it will never show drug residue is very naive. Record keeping is the key. I wonder if someday when one of your slaughter cows comes back with drug residue in the kidney will you still think the same way? That you should be put out of business also? [/QUOTE]
