SULFA-ON-SITE (SOS)

Of the 15,600 swine that were tested, 24 animals contained violative levels of sulfonamides. 23 animals were found violative for sulfamethazine; of these animals violative levels were reported in the muscle of 15, and violative levels were reported in the muscle and liver of 7 animals. In one animal, violative levels of sulfamethazine were reported in liver only. Violative levels of sulfadimethoxine were reported in the muscle of one animal.
