Evaluation of dairy cow exposure to DON can generally be managed through analyses feed or physiological specimens for residues. The latter enables a diagnosis not only on an individual basis but also herd basis. For this purpose, the published data, linear regression equations were derived blood, urine, milk, and bile relating residue levels as predictor variables exposure. Amongst matrices eva...

Sýkorová Goffová Z., Kožárová I., Máté D., Marcinčák S., Gondová Z., Sopková D. (2012): Comparison of detection sensitivity of five microbial inhibition tests for the screening of aminoglycoside residues in fortified milk. Czech J. Food Sci., 30: 314–320. The assessment of detection sensitivity of five microbial inhibition tests (MITs), STAR (screening test for antibiotic residues) with the tes...

The aim of the study was to determine the impact of residues of detergents and disinfectants on the results of most commonly used inhibitor tests for raw milk. Microbiological test (Delvotest SP-NT) and three rapid tests (Charm 3 MRL BL/TET2, Charm ROSA MRL BL/TET and Penzym) were used in the study. Three concentrations (recommended by the manufacturer, 10 times lower and twice higher) of 36 de...

Milk is an important food substance and has a complex polydisperse system. The main components of milk consist lactose, protein, lipids. Mineral substances vitamins are also present in as minor nutrients. Lactose known sugar the only carbohydrate it consists glucose galactose. content lactose varied according to types. Moreover, most energy source during first years human life, providing almost...

BACKGROUND: Microbiological and chemical qualities ofmilk are among the most important issues in public health.OBJECTIVES:Although there are a few published studies whichhave been conducted in south east of Iran this study wasperformed to investigate quality of raw milk delivered to a dairyindustry company Kerman Province. METHODS:Atotal of 109raw milk samples were collected at the time of deli...

INTRODUCTION The use of p,p'-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) has been banned since the late 1970s due to its toxicity. However, its long half-life makes it persistent in the environment and, consequently, almost everyone has DDT residues in the body. Human milk constitutes an ideal non-conventional matrix to investigate environmental chronic exposure to organochlorine compounds (OCs) resi...

Tractors should be provided with safety frames that are strong enough to protect the drivers from being crushed should the vehicles overturn. I wish to thank H.M. Coroner and the Chief Constable of MidWales for the information obtained from the coroner's records and from the police reports of road-traffic accidents. I am grateful to my partners (Drs. T. Brittain and H. G. Davies), and also to D...

β-Lactamase residues in milk represent a public health risk. The cylinder plate detection method, which is based on bacterial growth, is laborious and time consuming. In this study, 15 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were selected against Temoneira (TEM) 1 β-lactamase. A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on an optimum mAb pair was developed and validated for the detection of...

A rapid, simple, and sensitive immunochromatographic test strip has been developed for testing residues of ciprofloxacin (CIP). A specific and sensitive monoclonal antibody (mAb) for CIP was generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with well-characterized CIP-Keyhole limpet haemocyanin. Under the optimized conditions, the cut-off limits of test strips for CIP were found to be 5 ng/mL in phosphate-bu...
