OECD TG 509 Residue Studies in Livestock for Veterinary Drugs Detection Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction

Residues of veterinary drugs in livestock products pose a significant risk to human health and the environment. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has developed Test Guideline (TG) 509, which outlines the standard methods for detecting residues of veterinary drugs in livestock tissues. This guide provides an overview of the OECD TG 509 Residue Studies in Livestock for Veterinary Drugs Detection testing service offered by Eurolab.

Standard-Related Information

Relevant Standards

The OECD TG 509 is based on international standards and guidelines, including:

  • ISO/TS 14563:2008, Animal feeding stuffs -- Determination of residues of veterinary medicinal products

  • ASTM E1614-13, Standard Guide for Sampling and Analysis of Veterinary Drugs in Tissues

  • EN 15788:2012, Animal nutrition - Determination of residues of veterinary medicinal products

    • Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The OECD TG 509 is designed to meet the regulatory requirements of various countries and international organizations. These include:

  • European Union (EU) Regulation (EC) No 2009/178 on the European Communitys plant health regime

  • EU Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition

  • US FDA Guidance for Industry: Veterinary Drugs in Animal Tissues

    • Standard Development Organizations and Their Role

    The OECD TG 509 is developed by a collaborative effort between standard development organizations, including:
