Dietary exposure and risk assessment of antibiotics residues in marketed bovine raw milk

Abstract

Pathogenic microbes’ contaminations are another aspect of modern food production that leads to antibiotic residues with regard to pose human health risk. In animals the use of drugs in tandem to their treatment and prophylaxis is more difficult to prevent. In this analysis of potential risks of dietary consumption of different antibiotic residues was tested in marketed bovine raw milk. Risk assessment add the knowledge of the relation between food relative risk and consumer risk mitigation from adverse human health effects, making this specific pattern of creating to check a good food safety. The risk was measured the hazards quotient (HQ) of Gujarat region and PAN India on the basis of per-capita availability of milk under study. The results analysis of the risk for dietary exposure to residue in Gujarat and PAN India, indicate a risk quotient of 0.022, 0.13, 0.21 and 0.012, 0.079, 0.012 for tetracycline, fluroquinolones and gentamicin respectively. The study concludes that risk assessed is incredibly small because the potential safe calculation of HQ values, so there was no toxicological risk with reference to antibiotic residue diet exposure in the studied samples. However, occurrence of residues above MRL in daily dietary milk intake could result in significant adverse effects on a long term basis.
