| Abstract: | Pigs, sheep and rabbits were given carbamates per os. The animals were slaughtered one to thirty days after application. The examination of the slaughtered animals and meat was supplemented by determining the residues of carbamates in the meat and by physico-chemical, bio-chemical and bacteriological examinations. In the case of sevin, TMTD and/or zineb intoxication, pigs and sheep may be slaughtered after 20 to 30 days and rabbits seven to 12 days after intoxication. Meat containing sevin, TMTD and/or zineb may not be used for human consumption. After long-term storage of meat in freezing units and two-hour boiling the substance in the meat is not destroyed. From the veterinary and hygienic aspect the meat of the intoxicated animals may be used only after a complex examination. |
