Monitoring of Antibiotic Residues in Milk camels , cattle , goats and sheep in Elfasher Locality-North Darfur State

Abstract

This study was conducted to detect the presence of antibiotics residues in camels , cattle , sheep and goats From North Darfur State . A total of 912 milk samples were collected From dairy Farms From camels 232 [25.4%] cattle 228 [25%] sheep 225 [24.7%] and goats 227 [24.9%] . during summer 300 [32.9%] , autumn 307 [33.7%] and winter 305 [33.4%] .All samples are screened using one plate test to detect the inhibition zone of bacillus sibitilues . The results revealed that 157 samples [17.2%] were positive for antibiotic residues , also in cattle the positive samples were 56 [6%] ,camels 46 [5%] , goats 34 [3.7%] and sheep 21 [2.3%] samples .The positive milk samples obtained in summer was higher [8.9%] than autumn [3.8%] and winter [4.6%] .The importance of this study is to develop monitoring system for controlling of antibiotic residues in cattle , camels , sheep and goats industries to save human health and to minimize drug resistance.
