Description

Milk, in addition to providing chemical, physical, organoleptic and microbiological quality, must be free of prohibited substances, including antibiotics. The study was conducted on several Kosovo farms, including 36 fresh milk samples for the purpose of investigating the presence of Beta-lactams, specifically Ampicillin in milk. The presence of Beta-lactam (Ampicillin) was determined in the laboratory of the Food and Veterinary Agency using the ELISA Test Kit. Analysis of 36 milk samples showed that 31 samples or 86% had no presence of Ampicillin while 5 samples or 14% resulted in presence of Ampicillin. Although 14% of the samples proved positive, however, the ampicillin levels were not higher than 4 ug / kg which represents the maximum level permitted, which indicates that although samples that resulted positive in the presence of ampicillin, however their amount was within the allowed legal norms that regulate this issue.
