A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY ON VETERINARY CLINICAL TOXICOLOGY WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON VARIOUS SPOT TESTS IN EVALUATION OF TOXICITY
Dr. Sindhu K.*
ABSTRACT This article reviews clinical toxicology with brief note on classification of poisons/residues based on toxic effect, origin, (phytotoxins and zootoxins) or use (pesticides, fungicides, herbicides etc.) and its therapeutic management in veterinary practise. Residues of chemicals can contaminate food-producing animals and contaminants in feedstuffs can carry over into animal products used as human foodstuffs. Animals are monitors of environmental safety and food safety. Special emphasis is given on to laboratory diagnosis using spot test to detect heavy metals, traces of toxicants from biological samples collected under veterolegal cases. A goal of this review is to encourage veterinary toxicologists and to update field practitioners in the forensic toxicology. Keywords: veterinary clinical toxicology, poisons, residues, spot tests and veterolegal case. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
