إجراء طارئ من مولدوفا: محضرات من الأنواع المستعملة في تغذية الحيوانات

The measure establishes the temporary suspension of imports of compound feed originating from Ukraine into the territory of the Republic of Moldova. The measure was introduced following the detection of residues of the prohibited veterinary medicinal substance metronidazole and its metabolite hydroxymetronidazole in poultry serum samples collected under the National Residue Monitoring Plan. As a result, official investigations and traceability checks were initiated in affected poultry establishments. During these investigations, official samples of compound feed used in those establishments were taken, and laboratory analysis confirmed the presence of metronidazole residues in the feed. Traceability analysis indicated that the contaminated feed had been imported from Ukraine. In order to prevent further introduction and circulation of feed containing prohibited substances in the poultry production chain, the Republic of Moldova introduced a temporary suspension of imports of compound feed originating from Ukraine until adequate guarantees are provided by the competent authority of the exporting country.
