Veterinary antibiotics are used in livestock production for control of animal diseases and as growth promoter. The repeated application of veterinary drugs for animals may result the occurrence of residues at various concentration levels in animal derived food products. Veterinary antibiotic residue is defined as small amounts of antibiotics, or its active metabolites which persists in animal derived food products after applying it in animals for different purposes. In particular antibiotic residues occur due to extensive application of antibiotics in veterinary services produce complications not only in dairy and meat industry but also have extensive public health consequences. Deleterious effects of drug residues residing in animal derived food products may induce carcinogenic and mutagenic effects and leads to the condition of antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial allergy in the individuals who consume animal derived food products. Accordingly, it is important to effectively control antibiotic residues in animal derived food products. For that reason, regulatory authorities have enacted maximum residue limits (MRLs) for a number of veterinary drugs in different animal derived food products (milk, eggs and meat). Performing effective monitoring program requires specific, sensitive and reliable analytical methods that can identify all veterinary drug residues under regulated levels (MRL).
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.
