Appeal was made by r T, Sanderson, first vice president of the Ontario Veterinary Association, at thy. OVA's second annual meeting with represen- -tatjves of the major Ontario i,lvestock producers' associations last week. The association has for many years been concerned about the indiscriminate and widespread use of antibiotics in agriculture, and in a number of briefs to govern,- ment regulatory bodies has recommended review, research and, if appropriate, controls on the use of anti- biotics in food -producing animals. Long-term consumption of meat with antibiotic residues is suspected of affecting human responses to medication. Dr. Sanderson, a Listowel veterinarian, was skeptical of recent claims by a federal MP that over 14 per cent of all meat in the consumer chain is contaminated with antibiotics. "I find this figure hard to accept if we're talking about all meat products," he said. "Certainly it's true that if we're discussing so-called downer or salvage animals this is realistic." He cited high rates of anti- biotics contamination in provincial testing of suspect animals and said he hopes all suspect animals will con- tinue to be screened. However he conceded the testing process is not completely fool -proof. Dr. Sanderson was critical of the labelling of antibiotics and biologicals used in veterinary medicine and as feed additives. He cited examples of the same drug being sold under nine dif- ferent labels with a multi- plicity of brand names. "There is no reason for doing this other than to confuse the user and attempt to induce him to shop for that particular brand name again," he said. "These products should have their common generic name in large print at the top of the labels, with the tricky brand name, if they still prefer to use it, in smaller print beneath." He said he feels it Is necessary to push for ouch changes to reduce incidents which might shake con- sumer confidence. Attending the meeting were senior representatives of the Ontario Cattlemen's Association, case Ontario Federation of Agriculture Ontario Poultry Council. Holstein -Friesian Assoc' ation, Ontario Milk Market- ing Board, Ontario Pork Producers' Marketing board, the Provincial sheep producers' association, dairy goat association, as- sociation of bovine practi- tioners, academy of avian medicine, Jersey breeders' association and the Can- adian Jersey Club.
