However, it must be taken into account that animals treated in this way excrete the anti-infectives administered in both altered and unaltered form through their urine, faeces, and also in their milk. The treatment of mastitis, in particular, requires that antibiotics and other anti-infectives be administered directly into the udder; these are then discharged in the milk. Contamination of milk is therefore unavoidable during treatment of mastitis with anti-infectives, and also for a certain period after conclusion of treatment. Statutory withdrawal times must therefore be observed after the use of veterinary medicines before the next milk delivery. <br> <br> Within the European Union, uniform European maximums (MRL= Maximum Residue Limit) for veterinary medicinal residues in foodstuffs of animal origin, and thereby also in milk, were set down by law in EEC Regulation No. 2377/90. According to EEC Regulation, in order to safeguard the consumer from inhibitory substances or residual anti-infectives milk may only be brought into circulation if the statutory maximum (MRL = Maximum Residue Limit) in the milk be not exceeded. <br> <br> A microbiological inhibitor test for the qualitative detection of antibiotics and sulfonamides in both raw and heat-treated milk which is required to contain the test bacterium <i>Geobacillus stearothermophilus</i> var. <i>calidolactis</i> is described in the decision of the Commission (91/180/EEC). The Brilliant Black Reduction Test is one such procedure. <br> <br> In 1982 the BRT was recognized in Germany as an official inspection method for the detection of inhibitors in tanker milk, and was accorded a place in the official register of inspection procedures according to §35 LMBG (today § 64 LFGB). Since then the method has been amended many times, most recently in February 1996. </span><br> <br> <br> <br>  </p> </body>
