Some veterinary medicines are toxic to raptors and scavengers

Birds of prey and other scavenging animals may accidentally be exposed to veterinary medicines when they eat the carcasses of animals that are not rendered and have therefore been left in the wild. Certain anti-inflammatories and barbiturates pose a particular risk. The French Agency for Veterinary Medicinal Products (ANMV) is calling on veterinarians and breeders to take all the necessary precautions when administering these drugs to animals liable to be consumed by scavengers after their death.

These are the findings of the CheniPRO workplace study conducted by ANSES in partnership with the Agricultural Mutual Insurance Scheme (MSA). It is essential that workers wear suitable protective equipment to prevent the risks of exposure.
