“…In fact, the majority of medicines sold in Nigeria are of poor quality and the fact that Cameroon is one of the countries where these products are sold, could explain these results (Messomo 2006;Tomdieu, 2013). Percentages of the contamination higher than those recorded in this study were also noted by Ibrahim et al (2009), Er et al (2013) and Abdul Samad et al (2014) in Nigeria Dipeolu and Alonge (2002) and Morshdy et al (2013) in the Dakahlia Province in Egypt (2%) and Nigeria (16.11%) respectively. The proportion of cattle carcasses contaminated with penicillin residues (18.81%) is significantly higher than those contaminated with oxytetracycline residues (1.49%).…”

Background: The contamination of food by chemical hazards is a worldwide public health concern and is a leading cause of trade problems internationally. Based on former work describing the prevalent use and misuse of antibiotics in cattle in the Far North Region of Cameroon, we designed a study to detect antibiotic (penicillin G and oxytetracycline) in beef sold for human consumption in Maroua (Cameroon). To determine the mean concentration of antibiotic residues in beef, sample of liver and muscle were collected from 202 cattle selected randomly in all the slaughterhouses of Maroua and Godola and analyzed using Liquid Chromatographic tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Characteristics of the cattle selected (age, sex, breed, body condition score, weight, production system, and pathology, etc.) were also collected before and/or after slaughter -by physical examination and survey, and post mortem examination. Results: Results revealed that out of 202 cattle 41 (20.30%) tested positive for antibiotics in one or more of their organs. The meat of cattle from transhumance system, sick animals and older cattle was more likely to be contained with penicillin G and oxytetracycline residues. The average residues concentration in beef was 17.58 μg/ kg for penicillin G and 240 μg/kg for oxytetracycline. Conclusions: The findings of the present study should be alarming for the legislative authorities in food security and safety. This highlights a very serious problem, both for the consumers of Maroua city and the herders of the region as well as for the whole economy of Cameroon. It is therefore be important that measures be taken at several levels by the actors of the sector (public authorities, veterinary auxiliaries, etc.) to guarantee the safety of the food of animal origin.

“…In Iran, using HPLC, Salehzadeh et al (2007) investigated 270 chicken tissues samples from 90 broiler farms and found enrofloxacin mean concentrations of 18.32 ± 32.29, 18.34 ± 12.36 and 26.06 ± 19.52 μg kg −1 in muscle, liver and kidney samples respectively. In Turkey, Er et al (2013) found 45.7% of the chicken breast samples positive for quinolones by ELISA. In Saudi Arabia, using HPLC, Al-Mustafa and Al-Ghamdi (2000) detected 35.0% and 56.7% of quinolone residues in muscles and livers respectively.…”

This study investigated the efficiency of an enrofloxacin ELISA test kit to detect the presence of enrofloxacin residues in broiler tissues compared with LC-MS/MS. Broiler tissues from 72 samples consisting of 60 breast muscle, six pools of livers (500 g each) and six pools of kidneys (500 g each) were obtained from six different slaughterhouses. Breast muscle from 10 carcasses and pools of livers and kidneys from approximately 200 carcasses of the same flock were collected from each slaughterhouse. ELISA and HPLC were used to identify and quantify the contamination of the samples with enrofloxacin. A total of 72% of the analysed samples contained enrofloxacin residues detected by the ELISA and 22.2% were detected by LC-MS/MS. The mean values of enrofloxacin contamination found in chicken breast by ELISA and HPLC were 8.63 and 12.25 μg kg(-1), respectively. None of the samples exceeded the maximum limit of 100 μg kg(-1) by both methods set by the European Union as well as the Brazilian Agriculture Ministry. All positive samples for enrofloxacin residues detected by LC-MS/MS were also positive by ELISA. These data confirm the efficiency of the ELISA test, and suggest its use as a screening method for enrofloxacin residues in poultry tissues due to its quick results, low price and ease of applicability.

“…Non-observance of withdrawal period has however, been linked to detection of unacceptably high levels of aminoglycosides, betalactams, chloramphenicol, macrolides, sulphonamides, tetracyclines and fluoroquinolone, residues in poultry eggs, milk and meat products both in Ghana [27] and other parts of the world [51][52][53]. The refusal of farmers to follow recommended withdrawal period, would not only lead to the continual detection of these residues in poultry products, but also contribute to the increasing resistant strains of pathogenic bacterial agents aside causing irritation and hypersensitivity reactions in humans [7,40,54].…”

Antibiotic Practices and Factors Influencing the Use of Antibiotics in Selected Poultry Farms in Ghana

Many of the antibiotics employed in animal production also serve as essential medicines for use in humans. However, only a handful of studies address antibiotic use in animal husbandry in Ghana. The aim of this study was to investigate the use of essential antibiotics in poultry production in Ghana and to assess factors influencing farmers' choice of antibiotics for use on their farms. A cross-sectional survey using questionnaires and semistructured interviews was conducted among 400 poultry farms in the Ashanti, Brong-Ahafo and Greater Accra regions of Ghana. Data was analysed using IBM SPSS and Microsoft Excel. Multivariate analyses were used to evaluate correlations between farm variables and the dependency of antibiotic use on internal and external farm characteristics. Farmers reported the use of 35 different antimicrobial agents for management of conditions such as Newcastle, fowl pox, coccidiosis, and coryza. From these agents, 20 essential antibiotics belonging to 10 antibiotic classes were extracted. Frequently employed antibiotics were tetracyclines (24.17%), aminoglycosides (17.87%), penicillins (16.51%) and fluoroquinolones (10.55%). Only 63% of the farms completed recommended antibiotic course durations, 58% reported following recommended withdrawal periods and 88% sought veterinary advice before administration of antibiotics. Farmers had easy access to antibiotics and antibiotic-related information from veterinary offices, vet-chemical shops and mobile salesmen. Correlation analysis showed farm activities such as frequency of change of bedding material, disinfectant use and seeking expert advice correlated significantly with size and age. The use of antibiotic-containing agents was observed to be dependent on internal factors such as size, presence of other livestock on the farm and infections. External factors such as easy access to antibiotics also influenced farmers' use of antibiotics. These findings call for stricter regulations on access to and use of antibiotics on poultry farms in Ghana.
