Abstract

Antibiotics used as therapeutic agents or as feed supplement in milch animal lead to secretion of their residues into milk. Milk samples collected at day-0 (control), day-1, day-3 and day-5 after single IM administration of amoxicillin in 12 lactating cows showed significant level of residual concentration of amoxicillin on day-1. However, similar animals did not show any residual concentration of amoxicillin in milk samples collected on day-3 and day-5. The effect of pasteurization (LTLT) at 650C for 30 min on amoxicillin residue in milk was also evaluated. No significant (p>0.05) reduction of amoxicillin residue in milk was found on pasteurization.
