Abstract

The demand for animal products in the market is increasing day by day to fulfill the needs of ever growing human population. Failure to meet up public demand and the desire of making a quick profit makes the farmer adopt unfair means such as indiscriminate use of drugs on animals and not maintaining withdrawal period. This, however, is very crucial from human health point of view for those who rely on animal proteins in their diet. The residue present in the food may impart a mild allergic reaction to serious anaphylaxis in the consumers. The presence of drug residue in the food chain may also challenges the researchers or physicians by developing resistance.

Keywords: Animal products; Withdrawal period; Human health; Anaphylaxis; Resistance
