              Abstract 
 
              Aim: The study was conducted 
              to detection and determination of concentration or level of 
              antibiotic residues in milk and egg of local and commercial farms 
              at Chittagong during December 2011 to June 2012.  
              Materials and Methods: A total of 400 (200 milk and 200 egg) 
              samples were collected from local and commercial dairy cows and 
              local scavenging and commercial poultry farms, respectively. 
              Microbial inhibition test and thin layer chromatography were used 
              for screening and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography was 
              used to estimate the concentrations of antibiotic residues in 
              samples.  
              Results: Tetracycline, amoxicillin, and ciprofloxacin residues 
              were significantly (p ≤ 0.05) higher in commercial farms than 
              local. The boiling insignificantly (p˃0.05) reduced residues level 
              in milk and egg. The average concentrations of amoxicillin residue 
              in local milk, commercial milk, local egg, and commercial egg were 
              9.84 μg/ml, 56.16 μg/ml, 10.46 μg/g and 48.82 μg/g, respectively, 
              in raw samples and were reduced to 9.81 μg/ml, 55.54 μg/ml, 10.29 
              μg/g, and 48.38 μg/g, respectively, after boiling.  
              Conclusions: Proper maintaining of the withdrawal period and 
              development of active surveillance system are highly recommended 
              for public health security.  
              Keywords: antibiotic residues, commercial, eggs, local, milk, 
              thin-layer 
              chromatography, ultra-high-pressure 
              liquid chromatography.
