| dc.description.abstract | In Vietnam, the use of antibiotics in animal production is casual. However, many livestock farmers do not follow the veterinary prescription and supervision. It may lead to the presence of residues in animal products and antimicrobial resistance. These residues can cause a danger to public health as well as animal therapeutic science. This study was carried out to survey the occurrence and quantitation of sulfadimidine (SDD), chloramphenicol (CAP), and tetracycline (TC) residues in chicken meat by using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA). Among 45 chicken meat samples, HPLC analysis demonstrated the presence of residue of SDD in 17.78% of samples and 8.89% of them exceeded the maximum residue limit of Vietnam ‘s standard (MRL). The concentration of SDD, which exceeded MRL ranged from 130.92 to 187.40 μg/kg. In addition, in 6.67% of samples, concentration of TC exceeded the MRL in a range from 217.20 to 487.55 μg/kg . None positive cases of CAP were noticed in testing samples. This study indicates that almost slaughterhouses in An Nhon, Go Vap District followed the law well, but some of them still had chicken samples exceeded MRL. Based on these data, new strategies in the monitoring of antibiotic residues in chicken meat should be established.
