This unique and definitive reference on hormone abuse in food
producing animals is for scientists, regulators and consumers. It
contains the results of a meeting held in November 2006 to discuss
the progress made by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD)
supported programme on steroid abuse detection. When the ""hormone
ban"" first arose in the EU, there were only 15 Member States.
There are now 27 and some newer members lack the background
knowledge of this issue. This book sets out to summarise the
history and show the significant progress that has been, and
continues to be, made in this area. It is the only comprehensive
review of this subject available and contains input from leading
researchers from around the world. The initial chapters provide
valuable background information. For example, the chapter on
toxicology and risk covers the controversies arising from the
interpretation of the effects of artificial hormones in
meat-producing animals. The book then goes on to deal with how the
issue has been managed via national and international detection
programmes. It finishes by covering the resulting cutting edge
analytical science including current research using ""omics""/
profiling for ""natural hormones"" and novel detection techniques
such as IRMS. This book offers readers an insight into the risk
management of an important food related issue and how current
analytical analyses can assist evidence-based risk assessments.
There is comprehensive coverage of all past and current issues
relating to growth promoting hormone abuse in animals.
