Abstract

The through chain approach to livestock production places increased emphasis on on-farm management systems for addressing pesticide residues. The current risk management paradigm assumes the user of animal feeds has the ability to assess, or at least profile, risks to trade in animal commodities associated with feeding livestock material containing residues of pesticides. The paper details some approaches that may be used by livestock producers, focusing on simple calculations, and summarises available information needed as inputs. Calculated factors for the transfer of pesticides from feed to animal commodities (transfer factors) are summarised for about 150 pesticides.
