The study of residual amounts of antibiotics in offal of small cattle

The benefits of using pharmaceutical drugs in animals are rarely compared with the risks of not using them, but instead of giving preference to one of them, both options should be considered equally. Medications are used in large doses to treat sick animals, but in relatively small doses to prevent diseases in susceptible animals. In many countries, it is believed that diseases that directly harm animals raised for human consumption, reducing their productivity and eventually leading to death, cannot be controlled without the use of drugs and medications. The main food products of the Mongols have long been meat and milk, which are the basis of the daily diet. This is due to the natural and climatic conditions of Mongolia, favorable for cattle breeding. In Mongolia (which consumes about 545,000 tons of meat per year), it is not enough to control the quality of meat products only with the help of veterinary certificates and internal inspection laboratories in food markets. It is necessary to improve coordination between livestock breeders, butchers and veterinary specialists, to promote the correct use of veterinary medicines, and to improve the work of internal control laboratories in markets.
