Antimicrobial drug residues in infant foods and bovine milk

Liquid Chromatographic analysis was done to determine the antimicrobial drug residue in baby foods and bovine milk. Different baby foods and bovine milk samples were subjected to analysis of the antimicrobial drug residues. Bovine milk, Dexolac-1, Dexolac-2, first food, Nestogen, Lactogen-2, Cerelac-1, Cerelac-2 and Nutricia Infacare were analysed for chloramphenicol and sulfamethazine residues. While milk collected from different parts of country were analysed for albendazole, fenbendazole and diminazene residue. The results in this study indicated that Bovine milk and baby foods which were analysed for antimicrobial drug residue had their quantities and were safe to use.
