Abstract

This study was aimed to determine residue of growth-promoting agents and some antibacterials in beef cattle and broiler meats consumed in Bursa, as well as evaluate its hazards on public health. A total of 45 meat samples which consist of 36 beef cattle meat and 9 broiler meats were collected from supermarkets and butchers between November and December in 2016. The analysis was carried out by biochip array-based immunoassay technique. This system is also currently used for simultaneous detection and quantitation of different anabolics consist of β-agonists, boldenone, corticosteroids, nandrolone, ractopamine, stanozolol, stilbenes, trenbolone and zeranol, and different six group antimicrobials consist of quinolones, cephalosporins, amphenicols, aminoglycosides, macrolides and tetracyclines. Although growth-promoting agents residues could not detected any of the samples, all group antimicrobial residues in 10 beef cattle meat samples and tetracycline residues in two broiler meat samples were detected at various levels. In conclusion, there is no any risk to consumers for growth-promoter residues according to the results. The detected antibacterial levels were generally not contain hazardous concentrations of residue. However, some detected levels for quinolone, amphenicol, macrolide and tetracycline groups in beef meat samples, and detected concentrations for tetracycline group in two broiler meat samples could exceed the maximum residue limits, and could have risk for public health.
