Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to survey antibiotic residues in commercial broiler farms’ chicken meat sold in the markets of 6 northeastern Thai provinces and in backyard farms’ chicken meat and liver sold in Mueang district, Khon Kaen.
Materials and Methods: From August to September 2018, a total of 600 chicken meat samples of commercial farms were collected from the markets in 6 provinces (100 samples per province): Udon Thani, Nakhon Ratchasima, Ubon Ratchathani, Sisaket, Mukdahan, and Khon Kaen. An additional 50 samples (chicken meat = 25, livers = 25) of backyard farms were collected from the markets in Khon Kaen municipal during December 2018. The microbial inhibition assays were used for antimicrobial residual detection, CM-Test and RR-test®.
Results: No antibiotic residues were found in all 600 chicken meat samples from standard commercial farms, while chicken meat and liver from backyard farms yielded positive at 28% (14/50), which was found in chicken liver (44%) rather than chicken meat (12%). This accounts for 4% of Tetracyclines and 24% of Macrolides-Aminoglycosides-Sulfonamides drug classes.
Conclusion: Antimicrobial residues in chicken liver from backyard farms sold in Mueang district, Khon Kaen revealed at a higher rate than in chicken meat. Consuming chicken liver poses a higher risk of antibiotic residues than chicken meat. As a result, controlling antimicrobial usage in small farms is critical to avoiding drug residues.
