The use of feed additives and veterinary drugs is an established feature in current animal production practices. Having been administered to the animals, these compounds are excreted virtually in toto in the faeces and urine, thus reaching the environment (soil, surface water) in their initial form and/or in the form of metabolites. In the present paper, the extent of environmental pollution by residues of feed additives and animal drugs, the resulting problems and the requirements of the authorities as regards the collection of information on the environmental impact of this type of compounds, are briefly reviewed. Finally, some instances of studies done in this field are presented.
在当前的动物生产实践中,使用饲料添加剂和兽药已是既定特征。这些化合物施用于动物后,几乎全部通过粪便和尿液排出体外,从而以其初始形式和/或代谢物的形式进入环境(土壤、地表水)。本文简要回顾了饲料添加剂和动物药物残留对环境污染的程度、由此产生的问题以及当局对收集这类化合物环境影响信息的要求。最后,介绍了该领域的一些研究实例。
