Abstract
Background and
Aim:
There are global public health and economic concerns on chemical
residues in food of animal origin. The use of antibiotics in
dairy cattle for the treatment of diseases such as mastitis has
contributed to the presence of residues in dairy products.
Penicillin residues as low as 1 ppb can lead to allergic
reactions and shift of resistance patterns in microbial
population as well as interfere with the processing of several
dairy products. Antibiotic monitoring is an essential quality
control measure in safe milk production. This study was aimed at
determining antibiotic residue contamination and the level of
penicillin in dairy products from Fulani cattle herds in Oyo
State.
Materials and
Methods:
The presence of
antibiotic residues in 328 samples of fresh milk, 180 local
cheese (wara), and 90 fermented milk (nono) from Southwest,
Nigeria were determined using Premi®
test kit (R-Biopharm AG, Germany) followed by
high-performance liquid chromatography analysis of penicillin-G
residue.
Results:
Antibiotic residues were obtained in 40.8%, 24.4% and 62.3%
fresh milk, wara and nono, respectively. Penicillin-G residue
was also detected in 41.1% fresh milk, 40.2% nono and 24.4% wara
at mean concentrations of 15.22±0.61, 8.24±0.50 and 7.6±0.60 μg/L
with 39.3%, 36.7% and 21.1%, respectively, containing penicillin
residue above recommended Codex maximum residue limit (MRL) of 5
μg/L in dairy. There was no significant difference between the
mean penicillin residues in all the dairy products in this
study.
Conclusion:
The
results are of food safety concern since the bulk of the samples
and substantial quantities of dairy products in Oyo state
contained violative levels of antibiotic residues including
penicillin residues in concentrations above the MRL. This could
be due to indiscriminate and unregulated administration of
antibiotics to dairy cattle. Regulatory control of antibiotic
use, rapid screening of milk and dairy farmers’ extension
education on alternatives to antibiotic prophylaxis, veterinary
prescriptions and withdrawal periods are recommended to prevent
residues.
