The objective of this study was (i) to analyze antibiotic residues, two which were beta-lactam antibiotics, one tetracycline, and one quinolone in the milk of lactating animals; (ii) to evaluate the interference of the drug ceftiofur which is considered as discard-zero. The SNAPduo™ ST Plus kit was used to evaluate the presence of beta-lactam antibiotics and tetracyclines in natural milk. Medications based on penicillin, ceftiofur, enrofloxacin, and oxytetracycline were used. As expected, the milk from control animals and animals administered with enrofloxacin did not present antibiotic residue because it is not one of the classes detected by the SNAPduo™ ST Plus kit, and thus it was used to prove the efficiency of the test. Ceftiofur, known as a “discard-zero” antibiotic, tested positive for the SNAPduo™ ST Plus kit and the BetaStar Combo® “S” test. Chemical residues were detected in cow’s milk treated with different groups of antibiotics after the withdrawal time indicated in the package inserts of the medicines used.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
