Incidence of hormonal growth stimulant and antibiotics residues in chicken meat

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the level of antibiotic residues in poultry meat sold in the city of Almaty, which is a megacity of Kazakhstan, and compare it with the Minimum Residue Level set by World Health Organization and Food and Agriculture Organization. Determination of hormonal growth stimulators (progesterone, testosterone, estradiol-17β) and antibiotics (tetracycline, chloramphenicol, and streptomycin) in poultry was carried out using immunoassay according to the manufacturer’s instruction. The results of monitoring showed that in the Almaty region annually wholesale deliveries of meat products from the USA, Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia are carried out regularly. On average in the region from 2016 to 2019, the specific weight meat imports averaged 47.9% of total consumption. A total of 105 samples were examined by us between 2019 and 2020, including 63-import meat and 42 samples of the meat of local production. Due to the particular importance of this problem, the main focus of the article`s goal is to conduct monitoring studies on imported and domestic meat for the residual content of hormones and antibiotics in poultry meat. As a result of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of poultry meat, an excess level of maximum residue was detected in eight brands of imported meat.

Existence of some synthetic hormonal residues in some chicken meat cuts

“…Regarding with their fitness for human consumption, in reference to the noted MRL in CAC [14], all of the examined samples were fit for human consumption on condition of good animal husbandry practice. Lower findings were obtained by Doyle [15] who found that 17βestradiol in chicken meat was ranged from < 0.03-0.02 ppb; and Akhmet et al [16] who collected a chicken breast and wing samples from USA, Russia and Ukraine, where estradiol was detected in the mean value of 0.004, 0.001 and 0.002 ppb in wing samples, while was 0.004, 0.001and 0.001 ppb in breast samples, respectively. While, higher findings were obtained by Sadek et al [17] who found 17βestradiol in chicken meat and Liver were 0.865, 4.216 ppb, respectively; Kadim et al [18] (0.704 ppb in chicken meat samples), and Ibrahim et al [19] who recorded detection of 17βestradiol in all of the examined chicken meat samples with mean values of 0.782 and 1.53 ppb, respectively.…”

Antibiotics Used in Food Animals: A review

“…Regretfully, the bacteria also raise the turnover of the gut e pithelium, decrease the digestion of fat, absorb nutrients, and excrete metabolites. This may result in an overpopulation of bacteria in the small intestine, which can stunt the animals' growth and be linked to malabsorption, weight loss, and poor health [34].…”
