Section 7 - By-Product Contamination


 
 

Proper use of insecticides includes removal of old insecticide ear tags as well as following label directions for pour-on's, injectables, dusts, sprays and other types of insecticides.  Failure to do any of the above may result in contamination of the animal by-products.  This may lead to harmful, if not deadly, residue problems in pet foods as well as in other by-product materials.  By products constitute 12 percent of the value of slaughter cattle.  Handlers should be cognizant of this value while processing incoming cattle or when individual treatments take place.
