BACKGROUND The abundant use of tetracycline antibiotics in veterinary medicine may result in the presence of their residues in milk at unsafe concentrations that can adversely affect public health. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the risk of tetracycline residue (TET) intake via milk consumption amongst different age groups of human consumers in Iran. METHODS To quantify the drug...

Shitandi, A. 2004. Risk factors and control strategies for antibiotic residues in milk at farm level in Kenya. Doctoral dissertation. ISSN 1401-6249. ISBN 91-576-6477-3. Antibiotic residues in milk in Kenya constitute a problem and there is strong interest to enhance milk safety. The research sought to establish whether the prevention of residues in milk was viable at the farm level. It also ev...

Milk is often described as a complete food because it contains protein, sugar, fat, vitamins, and minerals. This study was performed to investigate risk factors affecting chemical and bacteriological quality of bulk tank milk. According to the following conducted experiments, the milk was divided into two standard and non-standard groups. Then, effect of risk factors on making the samples non-s...

The study was carried out to determine the extent to which antimicrobial drugs may be translocated into milk and the associated risk of exposure by consumers. A total of 394 milk samples were collected in the study sites in dry and wet seasons, and from different categories of milk market agents, including producers (farmers), processors, wholesalers (assemblers) and retailers. The milk samples...

Fifty buffaloes(healthy and mastitic udders) were milked aseptically from separate regions of Kaliobia governorate .California mastitis test (CMT) and bacteriological examination were achieved .Upon susceptibility testing (12) antibiotics were used to explain different susceptibility patterns of the isolated bacteria The objective of this study was the detection of oxytetracycline, sulphadimidi...

the veterinary drugs residues are also important pollutants found in milk, since veterinary drugs are commonly used in cattle management. considering the role of milk in human nutrition and its wide consumption throughout the world, it is very important to ensure the milk quality. a quantitative structure–retention relationship (qsrr) was developed using the partial least square (pls), kernel p...

In this study, tetracycline group antibiotic residue was investigated in plain and flavored UHT milk of different brands. A total 90 samples (62 28 flavored) were analyzed by ELISA method. Tetracycline residues detected all as a result the analysis. The mean level determined 6.98±0.38 ppb 6.53±0.48 milk. Residue levels found to comply with legal limits announced European Union (EU) commission T...

The antibiotic residues in milk are a well-known serious problem and pose several health hazards to consumers. We have described a simple, rapid, and inexpensive DLLME-HPLC/UV technique for the extraction of chloramphenicol and florfenicol residues in milk samples. Under the optimum conditions, linearity of the method was observed over the range 0.02-0.85 µg/L with correlation coefficients > 0....
