Abstract:
The research was conducted in Almoilih and Albaraka slaughterhouses in Karary Locality, Khartoum State (The research title is Prevalence of antibiotics residues in meat of cattle, sheep, goats and processed meat in Khartoum State in order to assess the level of hazard). The objective of this study was to detect antibiotic residues in raw bovine, ovine, caprine and processed meat to examine the occurrence of antibiotic residues by using bacterial test, in order to determine the prevalence and incidence of antibiotics residues and evaluate the risk level, so as to provide the suitable solutions for the chemical hazards. The main problem of this study is the lack of knowledge and ineffective diagnosis of food borne diseases and poor reporting systems of relevant authorities within health institutions. The samples were collected from different animals. From each animal samples from (liver, Kidney and Muscles), were taken in addition samples from (Lung and Hearts) of bovine. The samples were tasted in the College of Veterinary Medicine, Bacteriology laboratory, Sudan University of Science and Technology, Helaat KuKu. One plate screening tests (O.P.I) were done by using samples taken to microbiology laboratory. Microbial inhibition one plate of Bacillus subtilis in agar medium was used. The results obtained for Bovine, Caprine, Ovine and processed meat were as follows: 46.4%, 12.5%, 96.4% and 27.3% respectively as positive samples, and the percentage of the result for the organs tested, kidney, liver, heart, muscle and lung were 85.3%, 85.3%, and 48%, 100% and 48% respectively. Also a questionnaire was designed and distributed to the veterinarians and the data were analyzed statistically by Social Package of Scientific System by SPSS software 24 package. The result showed that, 60% of Veterinarians give tips to the owners about the withdrawal period and 60% did not adhere to dosage in the prescription. Also 92% of antibiotics administration and follow-up is carried out by the owners

and workers. Only 20% only of the owners adhere to the guidelines, and 92% of the veterinarians did not continue the treatment by them self. The Oxytetracycline group, represented about 72% of antibiotics groups used for the animal’s treatment. The study recommended that the authority should ensure compliance with the related agencies to avoid the misuse of antibiotics and routine drug residues surveillance program should be established in the country to ensure food safety.
