Abstract
Samples comprising 100 muttons were randomly collected from slaughter points / sale points /meat vendors in Kuwait City, where meat, liver and kidney samples of about 50 g of different animals were collected and frozen until they were ready to be analyzed. In this study, two different analytical methods: rapid Premi Test, and HPLC were used as the methods to determine antibiotics residues levels in mutton from some selected markets in Kuwait. The result concluded that consumption of mutton meat in Kuwait my carry a potential risk for antimicrobial contamination and may cause adverse effect on human health. In the present study, 82% (41/50), 64% (32/50) and 50 (100%) of the examined muscles, liver and kidney samples of sheep, respectively were positive for antimicrobial residues. Result of the HPLC analysis indicated that amoxicillin was detected in 70% (35/50), 76% (38/50), and 70% (35/50) of the sheep muscle, liver and kidney tissues examined, respectively. It is necessary to apply an ideal recommended limit to minimize the health hazard from antibiotic residues contamination in sheep meat. Application of good Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system to control of and in meat production is effective.
