“…Previous study indicated that the intI1 linked to various ARGs, which is a mobile genetic elements and play a certain role in dissemination of ARGs (Wang et al, 2014;Gillings et al, 2008). The high abundance of detected ARGs and class 1 integron gene reflected the usage veterinary antibiotics in animal production (Zhang et al, 2015a;Awad et al, 2014) and the antibiotic resistance contamination status in these two swine farms.…”

“…Another concern is related to the contamination of water and environment with chemical residues. The persistence of antimicrobials in manure and the use of old litter in soil fertilization permits the leakage of drugs into wells and surface water (Phuong Hua et al 2011;Meyer et al 2013;Milic et al 2013;Awad et al 2014).…”

Monitoring the use of antibacterial agents in food-producing animals is crucial in order to reduce antimicrobial resistance, selection and dissemination of resistant bacterial strains, and drug residues in the animal food products. The broiler production sector is considered a great consumer of antibacterials and incriminated in the rise of antimicrobial resistance level in zoonotic bacterial pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Campylobacter. Following recommendations from the OIE and WHO, a survey was conducted about the use and consumption of several antibacterial agents in Moroccan broiler flocks. More than 5 million broilers were randomly surveyed at the prescriber level, that is, via the veterinary clinics involved in their health management. The results showed that 93% of the flocks received at least one antibacterial treatment of minimum 3 days duration. Enrofloxacin, colistin and trimethoprim/sulphonamides were the most used antibacterials followed by oxytetracycline, florfenicol and amoxicillin. Oxytetracycline, enrofloxacin and colistin were overdosed in most of the administration, while amoxicillin and the combination of trimethoprim/sulphonamides were under-dosed. The total amount of antibacterial consumed in the survey was 63.48 mg/kg and the Animal Level of Exposure to Antimicrobials (ALEA) was 94.45%. The reasons for this frequent use were related mainly to the poor quality of broiler production management. Chicks and animal feed provided to producers were of variable quality. Management of rearing stock density was often poor and biosecurity inadequate, and broilers were challenged by a high prevalence of infectious diseases.

“…One prior study indicated that the highest concentration of chlortetracycline in soils nearby a swine manure composting facility was 0.85 mg kg À1 (Awad et al, 2014). This highlights the importance of understanding the fate of low concentrations of antibiotics in compost-amended soils.…”
