Under Annex IV of EU Council Regulation 2377/90 no MRL can be assigned to this compound and as such marketing authorisation for this compound has been withdrawn. However, under Directive 70/524EEC the compound is authorised for use only in turkeys and guinea fowl. No residues of this compound were detected in the 125 pig kidney samples analysed. However, dimetridazole was detected in pig feed samples at concentrations of 110/xg/kg, 130/xg/kg, 1,300 /xg/kg and 2,200 /xg/kg. 

This compound is currently licensed for use only in turkeys and guinea fowl as a feed additive and must not be used in laying hens. No residues of this compound were detected in liver samples (784) obtained from broilers, hens, ducks and turkeys. However, residues were found to be present in 25 broiler, three duck and one hen feed sample. In the future it is unlikely that this compound will continue to be authorised for use as a feed additive in any poultry species. 

The protein requirements of pheasants and quail and guinea fowl are similar to those for turkeys therefore, turkey diets can be used for these species. 

Cestodes differ from trematodes and nematodes in that the adults, with a few exceptions, occupy one type of habitat - the alimentary canal. Even the exceptions occur in sites related to the gut. Examples of some aberrant genera are Stilesia, Thysanosoma (bile ducts of sheep), Porogynia (bile ducts of guinea fowl), Atriotaenia (pancreatic ducts of Nasua), Progamotaenia and Hepatotaenia (bile ducts, gall bladder and liver of marsupials). Hymenolepis microstoma, which is found in the bile ducts of rodents, is widely used as a laboratory model (446). 

Other birds raised as food include the domestic pigeon (Columba livid), and the domestic Guinea fowl (Numida meleagris), among others.

Species of peafowl are native to Asia and Africa. However, these gorgeous creatures have been kept in captivity as orna-... 

In general poultry are more resistant to monensin toxicity than other species, but there have been reports of monensin toxicity in turkeys accidentally fed rations containing 250 ppm monensin. There is a big difference in susceptibility to monensin poisoning among various species of poultry. Chickens and turkeys less than 2 weeks old are more resistant than older birds, but keets (young guinea fowl) seem more susceptible than their adults and the young of other species. For example, diets of 200 ppm monensin were not toxic for poults, whereas 100 ppm was toxic for keets.

The CVMP" advised that there was no need to establish MRLs for use of diclazuril by dietary administration to pigs and ruminants, as the recommended dosing procedures for each species would not cause harmful levels of residues to occur in edible tissues. The FEEDAP recommended MRLs for foods derived from chicken, turkeys,guinea fowl and rabbits. " On the advice of JECFA, the Codex Alimentarius Commission set MRLs for tissues from sheep, rabbits and poultry, but within the EU these MRLs are only applicable for sheep tissues, as the EU MRLs established on the advice of FEEDAP and CVMP take precedence for other species.
