Residual Antibiotic Contamination in Milk

Abstract: A 15 page paper discussing the origins and elimination of detectable levels of antibiotics in commercially-produced milk. Much antibiotic treatment in dairy cows is for varying forms of mastitis, some of which will run its course and then disappear. It appears that dairy farming is approaching the end of its hour glass on the widespread use of antibiotics, particularly in questionable applications. There is zero tolerance for any residue of antibiotics of any kind, and testing procedures are being developed that promise to be even more sensitive than those preceding. As testing for those antibiotics is more likely to find any detectable trace present, the importance of preventing any introduction of antibiotics into any operation's milk production also concurrently increases. Bibliography lists 16 sources.
