Residues Of Antibiotic In Chicken Meat Imported From Brazil And United States Of America Through Quarantine Stations In Dili,Timor Leste

Abstract: The aims of this research are to investigate some residue of antibiotics in chicken meat imported from Brazil and America over the quarantine station in Dili Timor Leste at 2016. The sample used was chicken meat imported from Brazil and America with totally of 40 samples. The research was done at Nasional Veterinary Laboratorium Biosafety level 2 in Dili Timor Leste, using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) competitive method, in accordance with the standard kit Maxsignal Bioscientific crop, which resulted in optical density OD value with the concentration of fluoroquinolone residue and tetracyclines residue in chicken meat imported from Brasil and America to Timor Leste. The research showed that 9 (36%) of 40 samples from America and Brazill contained positive fluoroquinolone residues which all came from Brazil. The results of the examination of tetracyclines residues, were found in 1 (6.6%) of 15 samples positive Tetraciclin residues from America while from Brazil are found in 8 (32%) of 25 samples positive Tetracilin residues. Antibiotic residues in chicken meat imported from Brazil and America which entered through the quarantine station in Dili Timor Leste still contain low concentrations of antibiotic residues between 0.1 ng/ml to 0.25 ng/ml for fluoroquinolone antibiotic and concentration of ng/ml 0.05 to 0.1 ng/ml for tetracyclines antibiotic.
