Challenges & Solutions for antibiotic residues in Animal Origin Food -Indian Prespective V2

India Section of AOAC INTERNATIONAL along with Nestle Food Safety Institute, India

Venue : The Park Hotel, New Delhi

Date : 13^th November, 2019

In India, although antibiotics have been used in large quantities for some decades, until recently the existence of these drugs in the milk and meat has received a little concern. It is only in recent years that a more extensive investigation of antibiotic substances has been attempted in order to permit an assessment of the public health risks pose by them. Antibiotic usage in livestock production as therapeutics, prophylactics and as growth promoter has become vital to the growing dairy industry, since the prolonged or inappropriate usage of such antibiotics may lead to residues appearing in milk, which pose the risk of human health hazards and also interfere with the processing of the milk and milk products. The administration of antibiotics against bacterial infection is a significant driving force for selection of resistant strains of bacteria, which can spread from animal to human population and complicate the therapeutic management of such infections. Despite the numerous investigations performed, there is still a lack of understanding and knowledge about antibiotic residues in the milk & milk products and other animal origin food like honey, Poultry, Meat and Fish etc.
