Note 1: The presence of inhibitory substances, while suggesting antibiotics, does not prove a violation of standards has occurred
Note 2: The Veterinary Drugs Directorate of Health Canada has proposed a regulatory amendment for doramectin, which would result in a Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) for animal tissues. http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/vetdrugs-medsvet/mrl_doramectin_e.html
Note 3: The Veterinary Drugs Directorate of Health Canada has proposed a regulatory amendment for MGA, which would result in a Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) for beef tissues. http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/vetdrugs-medsvet/mrl_mga_e.html
Note 4: The CFIA currently believes that these residues are related to naturally occurring feed components rather than being associated with the administration of the compound as an animal drug. Further inspections in the new year may help resolve the question.

Note 1: The presence of inhibitory substances, while suggesting antibiotics, does not prove a violation of standards has occurred.
Note 2: The Veterinary Drugs Directorate of Health Canada has proposed a regulatory amendment for doramectin, which would result in a Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) for animal tissues. http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/vetdrugs-medsvet/mrl_doramectin_e.html
Note 3: The CFIA currently believes that these residues are related to the feed rather than being associated with the administration of the compound as an animal drug. Further inspections in the new year will help resolve the question.
Note 4: TBA and zeranol implants are not approved for veal animals in Canada.
