ABSTRACT
Movassagh MH, Karamibonari AR., Tetracycline
residues in raw, pasteurized and UHT milk in Iran, Onl
J Vet Res., 17(10):535-539, 2013. One hundred
and fifty raw, pasteurized and UHT milk samples each were collected randomly from
collection centers in Tabriz, Iran. Tetracycline residues were determined by enzyme
receptor assay. 98.66% milk, 100% pasteurized and 99.33% UHT samples had
tetracycline residues with values of 32.62±1.81, 20.89±0.75 and
48.74±2.91 µg/L, respectively. Residues values were higher (P
< 0.01) in UHT samples compared with raw and pasteurized milk. The findings
suggest that antibiotic withdrawal times are not being adhered to by Iranian
dairy farmers. The results need to be confirmed by other tetracycline assay
methods and 0 residue milk controls.
