Export Slaughter Intervals (ESI) and Withholding Periods (WHP)
of veterinary chemicals for use in sheep
Valid from 7 February 2006
An Export Slaughter Interval (ESI) is the time which should elapse between administration of a veterinary chemical to animals and their slaughter for export. ESIs manage differences between Maximum Residue Limits allowed for chemicals in Australia and its trading partners. ESI advice is particularly important for quality assurance schemes, and especially for producers filling out the National Vendor Declaration (NVD) forms as part of the whole-of-chain management of exported product. ESIs have been agreed to by the sheepmeat industry and the registrant of the veterinary chemical. The withholding period (WHP) is the minimum period which must elapse between last administration or application of a veterinary chemical product, including treated feed, and the slaughter, collection, harvesting or use of the animal commodity for human consumption. WHPs are mandatory for domestic slaughter and on the label of every registered product. The APVMA has compiled the following ESIs and WHPs for products used in sheep. Many of these ESIs were established previously by a third party and the accuracy and validity of the values are under review. As ESIs are subject to change due to alterations in overseas requirements, and ongoing review and consultation with industry, this website is provided to ensure the latest information is available to producers and users. Changes to this list since 6 January 2006: 1) Changed ESI for VETRAZIN
LIQUID SHEEP BLOWFLY TREATMENT from a dash (-) to 14 days

Previous changes: 1) Deleted entry for NUWHITE CC BROAD SPECTRUM CATTLE DRENCH
