| Sumario: | This study aimed to investigate the incidence of antimicrobial residues among chicken meat
samples including thigh muscle, breast muscle, and wings. A total of 390 samples were collected
randomly from different retail outlets at Erbil Governorate from January 1st to June 30th, 2019. The
residues were detected by using qualitative field disc assay and disc diffusion assay against Bacillus
subtilis bacteria on agar plates. The incidence rate was (13.3%) and (10.8%) according to qualitative
field disc assay and disc diffusion assay, respectively. The highest rates were found in breast and
thigh samples by both assays. However, no significant differences were found between the meat cuts
or the site of sample collection (urban or suburban). Regarding the monthly variations, the progress
of winter-spring months was found to be associated with a decrease in antibiotic residue levels among
chicken meat. Further evaluation of the one-year monitoring and antimicrobial stability period in
chicken meat is recommended. |
