In recent years, along with the rapid development of livestock cultivation industry, the antibiotic was used widely as an artificial feedstuff additive to increase the animal production. The excessive application of veterinary antibiotics led to antibiotic residue in the animal products and manure. This will not only directly affect the safety of animal products, but also enormously threat the environment quality security and humanity's health. In this paper, the author introduced the condition of veterinary antibiotics application and its residue status, summarized the environmental behavior such as the adsorption, transport and degradation of veterinary antibiotics in soil and its influences on animal, plant and microorganism in environment. The research prospect of veterinary antibiotics residue was also put forward.
