INTRODUCTION Mission of the Agriculture and Livestock Service is to contribute to the agriculture and livestock development of the country, by protecting the vegetal sanity, animal health, protection and preservation of renewable natural resources that impact on farming production of the country and in the control of farming products and commodities subject to legal regulations and standards. Among its duties, the main one is to watch over the sanity of livestock production, to be responsible for the official registration, inspection and sanitary control of pharmaceutical products of veterinary use, to try to eliminate sanitary restrains imposed by countries or foreign markets for the commercialization of Chilean forest and farming products and to be guarantors of zoo sanitary, dietetics and of the quality and safeness of livestock products. International commerce of livestock origin products, is each time more demanding. Currently, to the sanitary type restrictions, it should be added those related to the use of chemical supplies in the production, whether these are hormones, pesticides, antibiotics or heavy metals, among others. Considering the excellent national zoo sanitary situation, Chile, can potentially compete with animal origin products in the world markets, pointing out that our productive system use veterinary medicinal products, pesticides and agro- chemicals in general, in a wise and efficient way, taking care of the environment and of the population’s health; being this the only way to maintain those market already reached and accede to new markets for our livestock commodities. In order to comply with exportation requirements and, also, to have an schematic information of annual character on the presence of residues in animal populations destined to be exported, it has been defined and designed the operation of the Residues Control Program (RCP) in Livestock Products. Each plan permits the assessment of residues trends and to identify sectors of the livestock industry where residue problems are detected and when necessary, to carry out corrective measures. This Program started in 1987 in ovine meats; in 1998 it was implemented in poultry, swine, and hare meats, and in honey; during the year 2000 it was established in turkey meats. By the middle of 2002, bovine meats were included in the program and during 2005, it included dairy products. This system complements other Programs carried out in the food safety area of the Service; as in Animal Establishments under Official Certification (PABCO) and of Quality Assurance System. 4 2. PARTICIPANT ENTITIES 2.1 REGULATING ENTITY: AGRICULTURE AND LIVESTOCK SERVICE, MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE It is organized in 5 Technical Divisions: Agriculture Protection, Seeds, Natural Resources, Laboratories and Quarantine Stations and the Livestock Protection Division. This last one is in charge of the coordination of 2007 RCP, specifically its Industry and Technology Subdepartment. Figure 1 shows the organization flow sheet of the Agriculture and Livestock Service and Figure 2 shows the organization flow sheet of Livestock Protection Division. Figure 1: Agriculture and Livestock Organization Flow Sheet 5 Figure 2: Livestock Protection Division Organization Flow Sheet The Service responsibility at central level is to draw up an annual residues control program of exportation livestock products in coordination with other Subdepartments. • To program sample collection in the different establishments incorporated in the plan. • To coordinate, at national level, the plan execution and to supervise the program execution for the annual sample collection, their dispatch to national and reference laboratories. • To systematize in a data base the information on sample collection and the results of the program. • To carry out a follow-up and inform fulfilment level of committed goals with respect to this project. • To draw up all necessary documentation related to Residues Control Program guidelines, manuals, etc. • To send information requested by different countries in relation to this issue. 6 2.2 RESIDUES DETERMINATION LABORATORIES AUTHORISED BY THE AGRICULTURE AND LIVESTOCK SERVICE At present there is a network of 4 Laboratories for Residues determination accredited by the Service, all of them located in the Metropolitan Region. Supervision of this network is performed through the Third Parties Accreditation System that was established by the Service during the year 2004, which settles a general standard that has to be complied by all accredited entities and in the case of assay laboratories, there is a specific regulation. This establishes necessary requirements to carry out the analysis/assays as support to the execution of different activities within the frame of officials programs of the Service and, for each analysis area it should also comply with the corresponding technical guideline. All accredited third party shall be supervised by SAG, by means of periodical and programmed follow-up actions, without prejudice of the supervising faculties of the Service. Accreditation

  • Method for the Detection of Zeranol and SOP : ARO/442 Taleranol In
    TITLE: Method for the detection of zeranol and S.O.P. : ARO/442 taleranol in meat and liver Page : 1 of 9 . Revision : 0 Date : 990715 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Summary This SOP describes a screening and confirmation method for the determination of resorcyclic acid lactones (RAL’s) in meat and liver samples of bovine origin. A procedure is described for the detection of a-zearalanol (zeranol) and b-zearalanol (taleranol) by a combination of solid phase extraction (SPE) and GC-MS. The method consist of, digestion of the meat sample using the enzyme protease and hydrolysis of the liver sample using suc d’Helix Pomatia, extraction of the RAL’s with tert-butylmethylether (TBME), purification using reversed-phase C18 cartridges. This method can also be used for the metabolites a-zearalenol, b-zearalenol, zearalanone and zearalenone. When doing so validation for these compounds is necessary. 1.2 Field of application The method is used to perform routine screening in meat and liver samples and has proven to be suitable for the analysis of a-zearalanol and b-zearalanol. The limit of detection is 0.5 mg/g based on the detection of the most abundant diagnostic ions namely m/z 433 and m/z 437 for the internal standard, with a response at the correct retention time exceeding the signal to noise ratio of 3. The method is validated according to SOP ARO/425 (1.3.3). 1.3 References 1.3.1. H.J. van Rossum et al, Multi residue analysis anabolic agents, SOP ARO/113, revision 4, 21 January 1997, RIVM.

DOI: 10.2298/AVB0603121S UDK 619:636.4.087.7 HAEMATOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF WEANED PIGLETS FED ON FODDER MIXTURE CONTAMINATED BY ZEARALENONE WITH ADDITION OF CLINOPTILOLITE [PERANDA MARCELA*, LIKER B**, [PERANDA T*, [ERI] V***, ANTUNOVI] Z*, GRABAREVI] @****, SEN^I] \*, GRGURI] D***** and STEINER Z* *Faculty of Agriculture, Osijek, Croatia; **Faculty of Agriculture, Zagreb, Croatia; ***Clinical Hospital Osijek, Croatia; ****Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Zagreb, Croatia; *****Centar for Livestock Improvement, Osijek (Received 20. October 2005) The effect of zeolite clinoptilolite (CLIN) on some metabolic parameters in blood serum and haematological values in weaned piglets fed with increased levels of zearalenone (ZEN) was investigated over a 14-day period. The research involved four groups of weaned piglets aged 40 to 54 days. All groups were fed on fodder mixture for growing pigs containing 20% crude protein and 12.57 MJ ME/kg. The first control group (C1) received a concentrate mixture without added ZEN or mycotoxin adsorbent Min-a-Zel Plus®. The second control group (C2) was fed on fodder mixture containing 0.2% of modified clinoptilolite (Min-a-Zel Plus®; levels of zearalenone <5.1 ng/g). Piglets in the experimental group (E1) were fed on fodder mixture containing added zeralenone (3 mg/kg) (Sigma-Aldrich Co) and 0.2% of Min-a-Zel Plus® preparation. The second experimental group (E2) was fed on fodder mixture to which 3 mg/kg of zearalenone was added, but with no addition of Min-a-Zel Plus®. Oestrogenic effect of ZEN was evident in the sinergistic action with insulin which was manifested in an increased total protein level, lower level of glucose, triacylglycerols, serum iron, a higer level of cholesterol and higher aminotransaminase activity.

    WT/DS320/R Page 141 (b) Summary of the main arguments of the parties315 7.2 With reference to the Panel's question whether panels are permitted to open hearings to public observation under Articles 12 (including Appendix 3), 14.1 and 17.10 of the DSU, the European Communities argues that a panel may adopt working procedures that foresee open hearings, as Article 12.1 of the DSU provides that panels may depart from the working procedures in Appendix 3 after consulting the parties to the dispute. 7.3 The European Communities also argues that this conclusion is not affected by Article 14.1 of the DSU on confidentiality of panel deliberations. The term "deliberations" does not cover the meetings with the parties, for which a different terminology is used in Appendix 3 of the DSU. 7.4 The European Communities considers that in the present case where all the parties have agreed to open hearings, the Panel should accommodate the parties' request. Article 18.2 of the DSU also supports the position that parties are entitled to "waive" the confidentiality of their positions. 7.5 Regarding the legal implications of open hearings on covered persons under the Rules of Conduct, the European Communities considers that no legal issues arise under the Rules of Conduct. In the European Communities view, the Rules of Conduct are and remain fully binding on all covered persons in this dispute, even if the hearings are opened to the public. The Panel's deliberations will in any event not be affected by the opening and remain confidential, as required by Article 14.1 of the DSU.
