[Pharmacologic-endocrinological findings in animal experiments with TURISYNCHRON and SUISYNCHRON. 4. Analysis of residuals in pig carcasses].

Twelve groups of German Edelschwein were given the recommended dosage of metallibure zinc complex (SUISYNCHRON) or 5 and 10 times this dosage. Residues were determined in liver, muscle and fat of pigs killed 3-5 hours or 1,2,4,7 or 10 days after the end of administration. In agreement with report in the literature, the highest content was found in liver, followed by meat, with hardly any residues in fat. Taking into account the accuracy of the method of determination, significant residues were present in the liver of pigs given ten times the normal dosage and killed after 3-5 hours of 1 and 2 days, but in muscle only in those killed after 3-5 hours; the content in fat did not differ significantly from that of the untreated controls.
