“…Due to this not only indiscriminate use of antimicrobials is common but also sale and distribution of counterfeit antimicrobials and the sale of antimicrobials on the informal market and involvement of untrained persons in the profession are big challenges [ 9 ]. Concerning the classes of antimicrobials prescribed for veterinary use in Ethiopia, reports from Adama and Bishoftu areas of central Ethiopia shows that oxytetracyclines of various formulations are the most commonly prescribed antimicrobial followed by penicillin-streptomycin fixed combination, sulpha drugs (sulphadimidine and sulphametoxazole-trimethoprim fixed combination), procaine penicillin, penicillin + cloxacilin, chloramphenicol, neomycin sulphate (intra-mammary infusion) and gentamicin [ 10 , 11 ]. According to the above authors, almost all (100%) cases in district veterinary clinics receive antimicrobial therapy after they had been tentatively diagnosed.…”

“…In food safety, the development of a new method for controlling antibiotic residues in milk is crucial. Of great concern is the antibacterial family of fluoroquinolones [9], which are extensively used in veterinary treatments of food-producing animals [10,11] leaving residues in milk and tissues. Since the established maximum residual limits of this family in milk should be below 100 µg·Kg − , it is required to develop inexpensive and sensitive analytical methods for routine analysis of food product for human consumption.…”

“…Zoonotic bacteria may also acquire the immunity to the antimicrobial drugs in the living animal, and be lately transferred to other ones and to the population through the food chain or by direct contact. Besides, they can reach appreciable concentrations in the environment and disturb the ecological equilibrium [2,3]. In order to avoid these negative effects, several practices have been suggested to producers to rationalize the use of antibiotics, such as the prescription of therapeutic doses only to ill or at risk animal until the desired clinical response and under the supervision of a veterinary, and enlarge the withdrawal period [4].…”
