Systems and methods are described that provide a fast and simple way of administering a drug program related to an animal. Specifically, systems are provided that can receive, compile and analyze information regarding the condition of an organ in a form that is readily readable, transferable to others, and associated with, or linked to, other information such as the presence or absence of an administered drug, combination of drugs, or drug program.

1. A method for determining whether an animal was administered a drug, comprising: capturing an image of a liver of an animal after the animal has been slaughtered by having said liver scanned within a field of view of a means for generating an image;associating the image with a lot of origin of the animal;using a processor, analyzing the image to determine whether the liver indicates that the animal has experienced infection or disease, said analyzing step comprising a review of visual evidence of liver abnormalities;determining whether the animal was previously administered a drug selected from the group comprising an antibiotic drug, tylosin and a beta receptor agonist;wherein the step of capturing comprises generating a digital image and said means for generating an image is selected from the group consisting of a digital camera and a digital video camera; and wherein said step of determining comprises correlating an identifying number of an individual animal and said liver. 2. A method for administering a drug program related to an animal, comprising: receiving a digital image of an organ from an animal depicting the quality or grading of said organ;determining an animal from which the organ was derived, wherein the animal is a bovine, porcine or ovine animal;associating the digital image and the determined animal with the presence or absence of a drug or combination of drugs that was previously administered to an animal, said drug selected from the group consisting of tylosin, an antibiotic and a beta receptor agonist;using a processor, evaluating, by reference to the digital image depicting the organ, whether the determined animal has been treated with the drug or combination of drugs, wherein said evaluating step comprises determining the presence of abnormalities of said organ and wherein the organ is selected from the group consisting of brain, liver, tongue, pancreas gland, thymus gland, stomach, feet, kidney, lungs, heart, small intestine, testicles, placenta, crop and caul;wherein the digital image is viewable in real time as said organ is passed within a field of view of a means for generating an image; andwherein said step of determining comprises correlating an identifying number of an individual animal with said organ. 3. A method for administering a drug program related to an animal, comprising: receiving a digital image of an organ from an animal depicting the quality or grading of said organ;determining an animal from which the organ was derived, wherein the animal is a bovine, porcine or ovine animal;associating the digital image and the determined animal with the presence or absence of a drug or combination of drugs that was previously administered to an animal, said drug selected from the group consisting of tylosin, an antibiotic and a beta receptor agonist;using a processor, evaluating, by reference to the digital image depicting the organ, whether the determined animal has been treated with the drug or combination of drugs, wherein said evaluating step comprises determining the presence of abnormalities of said organ and wherein the organ is selected from the group consisting of brain, liver, tongue, pancreas gland, thymus gland, stomach, feet, kidney, lungs, heart, small intestine, testicles, placenta, crop and caul;wherein the digital image is viewable in real time as said organ is passed within a field of view of a means for generating an image; andfurther comprising generating a report containing information regarding the presence or absence of a drug, combination of drugs, or drug program in the determined animal. 4. The method of claim 2, wherein the beta receptor agonist drug is selected from the group consisting of racoptamine hydrochloride and zilpaterol hydrochloride. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein the beta receptor agonist drug is selected from the group consisting of racoptamine hydrochloride and zilpaterol hydrochloride. 6. The method of claim 2, wherein said digital image is generated by a means for generating an image selected from the group consisting of a digital color camera, a digital black and white camera, and a digital video camera. 7. The method of claim 3, wherein said digital image is generated by a means for generating an image selected from the group consisting of a digital color camera, a digital black and white camera, and a digital video camera. 8. The method of claim 2, wherein the combination of drugs elicits an effect that is viewable in said digital image. 9. The method of claim 3, wherein the combination of drugs elicits an effect that is viewable in said digital image.
