Potecijalni hazardi u hrani za životinje i ljude

There are three main types of hazards significant for feed safety that can be transmitted from feed and animals to human food (meat, milk and eggs) and these are: biological, chemical and physical hazards. As people's health could be endangered by these hazards, also biological, chemical and physical hazards can affect animal health too. In recent years contamination of feed with chemical hazards is becoming more pronounced, considering that the chemical industry is rapidly evolving, and therefore the number of potentially toxic substances increases. Unlike previous years, the sheer volume, frequency, manner and duration of intoxication is quite changed. Frequently toxic substance intake is at the minimum, which leads to the less pronounced, but lasting effects. Such actions are exposed to both domestic and wild animals, bees and humans. A man can be exposed by the direct impact of toxins or by residual effects of many chemical substances that are lagging in animal products (milk. meat, eggs, fish), but which originate from contaminated feed. These include heavy metals and metalloids, pesticides, industrial contaminants, salt in large amounts, the ingredients of rancid fats, solanine, surplus or deficit of a nutrient, veterinary drugs, fertilisers, radionuclides.
