DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES.
The project intends to develop a system for the detection of antibiotic residues in live animals, which prevents the entry into the food chain of pork meat that exceeds the legal limits of said residues. For this, samples free of antibiotic residues were obtained for their use in the optimization of the methodology and the validation of the detection system, and thus be able to be applied in the routine of a slaughterhouse.
RESULTS OBTAINED.
Four analysis systems have been optimized for urine, blood serum, saliva and faeces. The study reveals that antibiotics can be detected in the above sources. Serum has turned out to be the best measurement marker with the live pig.
The test is effective for the measurement of antibiotics and sulfonamides.
