ABSTRACT
Nevertheless, the discovery and increased production of pharmaceuticals has lead to substantial use of pharmaceutical products that include antibiotics and steroidal hormones. The day by day increase in human population across the globe is leading to the increased need of food production. Due to the excessive use of common antibiotics i.e. penicillin and oxytetracycline, the antibiotic (ABs) residues remain in livestock products like milk of buffalo and cow. It leads to antibiotic resistance in human beings as well as animals and thus lead to the problem for one health (OH). Following were the objectives of the current study. Detection of commonly used antibiotics (penicillin and oxytetracycline) in (i) raw milk of buffalo and cow collected open market, (ii) UHT milk, (iii) pasteurized milk, (iv) bulk tank milk and (v) gawala’s (milk man) milk in Lahore. Kit detection and HPLC methods were used to identify ABs residues. The samples were collected from Lahore. Raw milk of buffalo and cow collected from the open market have shown 23.5% as the highest positive and UHT milk as the lowest positive 8.5%. Thus, it is an indispensable question to be further explored prospectively.
Novelty Statement | The detection of antibiotic residues including penicillin and oxytetracycline in six different categories of milk were categorically studied for the first time in Lahore with the help of bioassay rapid test and HPLC.
