Project code: BfR-SiN-08-1322-477
Contract period: 01.03.2011 - 31.12.2011
Purpose of research: Applied research

Recent reports suggest that a transfer of veterinary drugs into food of plant origin after the application of manure on arable land is possible. Besides the parent compound metabolites may also occur in the plants. The extent of this transfer and its relevancy for food quality and the consumer health is not known, yet.Using the most recent mass spectrometric techniques this project will provide methods for the quantitative determination of selected veterinary drugs in food of plant origin. These methods will then be used to determine the concentration of veterinary drugs in food of plant origin and to study transfer processes in more detail.
