Abstract
The
study was performed to determine the presence of antibiotic residues in 50
random samples of fresh beef marketed at Giza governorate, Egypt. The detection
of antibiotics residues was carried out according to methods recommended by
Hietzman (1994) (4-plates test) and USDA (2011) (Bioassay test).the obtained
results indicated that the incidence of antibiotic residues in the examined
samples was 3 samples of amino glycosides, 2 samples of B-Lactams (penicillin),
one sample of Ciprofloxacin one sample of oxytetracycline. It was shown that 2%
of the samples contain Sulphonamides and Ciprofloxacin, (B-Lactam
+Oxytetracyclines), (Sulphonamides + Oxytetracycline), (Sulphonamides
plusB-Lactam), (Aminoglycosides plus Ciprofloxacin),(Macrolides plus
Ciprofloxacin) (Aminoglycosides plus B-Lactam), (Macrolides plus B-Lactams),
(Macrolides plus Oxytetracycline. on the other hand, 4% of the samples were
regarded for Aminoglycosides plus Oxytetracyclines, Macrolides plus
Ciprofloxacin. The study revealed that 13 samples of beef out of 50. The
experimental part of this study determines the residues of ciprofloxacin and
Oxytetracyclines in experimentally treated rabbits’ samples (50 rabbit) after
cooking treatments (Boiling; Microwave; Roasting) and freezing of the rabbit samples.

Introduction
The
veterinary drugs used in food producing animals has led to residues occurring
in animal products as (meat, milk, eggs and honey), poses a health hazard to
the consumer. Due to drug's properties and their pharmacokinetic
characteristics, physicochemical or biological processes of animals and their
products are subsidiary factors for occurring of residues of veterinary drugs
and Improper drug usage and disrespect the withdrawal period. The major public
health significances of drug residue are development of antimicrobial drug
resistance, hypersensitivity reaction, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity,
teratogenicity, and disruption of intestinal normal flora [1]. Nowadays
Antibiotics are applying for control of infectious diseases in chickens'
digestive system; incorrect use of these drugs deposits some residue in product.
Impacts of different types of cooking and freezing on antibiotic residues in
chicken meat were done by determination the residues of ciprofloxacin and
oxytetracycline in experimentally treated chickens' muscles after cooking
treatments (Boiling, Microwave, Roasting) and freezing of the chicken muscles
[2]. Treatment of food animals with therapeutic and sub therapeutic dosage
forms of antibiotic-antimicrobial drugs has increased in the last decade. This
has been due to the advent of modern mass production operations that involve
the maintenance of thousands of animals simultaneously and requires the
utilization of carefully formulated and medicated diets that serve to maximize
growth, minimize production costs, and provide an acceptable consumer product that
is wholesome and affordable. Animal feed that contain antibiotics and other
antimicrobials as a prophylactic are used routinely in beef, swine, chicken,
and turkey production. In this way the antibiotics antimicrobials help to
maintain the optimal health of the animals so treated antibiotics may be
co-administered with antimicrobial drugs resulting in increase in drug
effectiveness compared to individual drug administrations [3]. Indirect
consumption of food contaminated with aflatoxins revealed public health risk to
human. Aflatoxicos is leads to hepatocellular carcinoma and growth impairment.
Many researches have suggested a link between antibiotic administration in food
animals and increase in bacterial resistance in human populations. In this
cross-sectional study, the screening for antibiotic residues in kidneys was
done using Microbial Inhibition six (6) plate method to provide baseline data
for the prevalence of antibiotic residues in animals slaughtered in Abattoir
and non- Abattoir slaughterhouse in Negeri Sembilan district areas. Basically,
the agar diffusion method uses six media which have been separately cultured
with different types of bacteria that are relatively susceptible and resistant
towards specific antimicrobial at certain pH level. Forty-one (41) kidney
samples and another fourteen (14) samples were obtained from non-abattoir and
approved (Senawang, Negeri Sembilan Abattoir) slaughterhouses respectively. 14
(34 %) of the 41 kidney samples from non-abattoir slaughterhouses and 1 (7%) of
the 14 samples from non-abattoir slaughterhouses were positive for antibiotic
residues. The result of the study revealed significant association (p<0.05)
between types of slaughterhouse positive for antibiotic residues using
chi-square test and confirmed using Binomial logistic Regression. The test
divulged seven times possibility of the samples taken from non-abattoir
slaughterhouse to test positive. However, there were no significant differences
between all groups of antibiotics from the positive samples. From this study,
it is imperative to include more study areas and sample size to conclude the
safety of the meat for consumers in [4] boiling for 30 minutes caused a great
degradation of tetracyclines residues "oxytetracycline" residues in rabbit
meats but not complete destruction. Freezing at -20 ºC caused a lower
degradation than that caused by boiling, so neither boiling nor freezing could
be used as reliable methods to get rid of tetracyclines residues
"oxytetracycline" residues in rabbit meats [5]. demonstrated that
ordinary cooking procedures boiling decreased the initial concentrations of
tetracycline residues by 56 to 82%. Also, microwaving degrades the initial
concentrations of tetracycline residues by 56 to 82% [6].
Material and Methods
Collection of samples
A total of 50 fresh raw beef meat from
different cuts of carcasses were collected from Giza governorates shops. The
average weight of each sample 250g; each sample was put in sterile polyethylene
bag then sealed and labeled. The samples were transferred to the laboratory in
ice box without delay. The samples were frozen at (-18 °C) until examined
within few days. The detection of antibiotics residues was carried out
according to methods recommended by Hietzman (4-plates test) and USDA (2011)
(Bioassay test).
Determination of
ciprofloxacin: (Agar diffusion by Lieve Okerman, 1998)
samples
were confirmed by HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) by pooling all
positive samples for ciprofloxacin in only two samples [7].
Determination of
(Tetracyclines) Oxytetracycline Residues in meat Tissues (USDA 2011)
samples
were confirmed by HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) by pooling all
positive samples for ciprofloxacin in only two samples [8].
Experimental study
This
study was planned to determine the residues of ciprofloxacin and
Oxytetracyclines in experimentally treated rabbits’ samples after cooking
treatments (Boiling; Microwave; Roasting) and freezing of the rabbit samples.
The method of determination of the residues using HPLC. The experiment was
Planned as follow:
Rabbits: fifty rabbits (New Zealand species each
weighed3kg) were divided into 3 groups (each 5 five rabbits) free from any
antibiotics.
Drugs: Ciprofloxacin 10% ALNASR (Injection
I/V) and Oxytetracyclines (20%, S/C, ADWIA).
Procedures: The first group was injected single
dose (10mg/kg BWT(I/V) of ciprofloxacin. The second group was injected single
dose oxytetracyclines S/C 5mg/kg Bwt. The third group was kept as control. The
groups of rabbits were kept in cages for 24hr then slaughtered.
Samples: From each rabbit group (3 thighs and breast)
was treated as follow:
Cooking: Boiling for 30min, Microwave for 20min,
Roasting for 30minat 100 °C. Each cooked group was three of each (thigh and
breast).
Freezing: Three thigh and breast from each group
were kept deep freeze at -20 °C For 6 and 12 months. All for mentioned treated
groups were either cooking or freezing were examined for the presence of
ciprofloxacin and oxytetracyclines residues using HPLC according to [7].
Results
Discussion
Wrong use of antibiotics in food animal production causes wide spreading of resistant pathogens, resistance genes and antimicrobial resistant bacteria in food animals, whereas they enter the food chain so national authorities should put a serious laws and programs aimed to reduce the excessive using of antibiotics in food animals and ensure their risky usage. Due to farmers and meat producers don't follow the laws about withdrawal times of the products [9]. Spreading of antibiotic-resistant bacteria showed serious problems among public heath as mortality rates were increased in cases when resistant infections occurred and increase length of treatments so, require using more expensive antibiotics or antibiotic cocktails [10]. The Concentrations (ug/kg) of different antibiotics residues in each individual raw beef samples were illustrated in Table 1 and Chart1, the result showed 3 samples of amino glycosides, 2 samples of B-Lactams (penicillin),one sample of Ciprofloxacin were rejected according to EEC (1990).The Frequency Distribution of different types of antibiotics Residues in raw beef samples was shown in Table 2 and Chart 2, the frequency range of Aminoglycosides (Gentamicin), B-Lactam(Penicillin), Ciprofloxacin, Macrolides(Erythromycin),Oxytetracyclines, Sulphonamides were 4, 6, 6, 4, 5 and 3 respectively. 56% of samples were contained antibiotic residues [11]. Table 3 & 4 were viewed the effect of boiling on reduction for both ciprofloxacin and Oxytetracycline Residues in Rabbit muscle were 20.74% and 87.97%, respectively. The effect of microwave on reduction for both ciprofloxacin and Oxytetracycline Residues in Rabbit muscle were 38.14% and 86.95%, respectively that shown in (Table 5-8 chart 3), showed that the roasting effect on reduction for both ciprofloxacin and Oxytetracycline Residues in Rabbit muscle were 12.84% and 73.98%, respectively. Gehad [12] mentioned that Since the most of foods-producing animals are always cooked before consumption and the variations in oxytetracycline levels in the meat are dependent on type of cooking. More findings about the effect of cooking on oxytetracycline residue are needed to accurately determine consumer exposure to this drug. The boiling for 30 minutes and roasting at 150°C for 30 minutes caused a complete degradation of drug residues. After 6 months of freezing treatment at -18°C the ciprofloxacin reduced to 65.73% whereas after 12 months the same residues were not detected which viewed in Table 9 & 10. Aboul El [13] that said Controlling of ciprofloxacin residues by freezing at -18 c had a positive effect on degradation of its residues Morshdy et al. [5] said that Freezing at -20ºC caused a lower degradation than that caused by boiling so, neither boiling nor freezing could be used as reliable methods to get rid of oxytetracycline residues in rabbit meats [14,15].
Conclusion and Recommendation
From
results in this study it is concluded that:
a.
Misuse of antibiotics in large animals for treatment without follow of the
withdrawal periods of drugs
b.
High incidence of antibiotic residues beef meat due to excessive use of
antibiotics [16].
c.
The effect of cooking on some groups of antibiotic residues (ciprofloxacin and
oxytetracyclines), showed
d.
Freezing are the only effective methods to degrade ciprofloxacin residues to
safety level then microwave, ciprofloxacin is heat stable compound degrade less
by heat treatment process.
e.
Microwaving and boiling and roasting are the effective heat treatment methods
on degrading oxytetracycline residues to safe level. Microwaving and boiling
could degrade oxytetracycline residues higher than roasting but freezing had
low degrading effect on oxytetracycline residues [17].
Recommendation
It
was concluded that The Application of HACCP system is recommended for beef
production and other meat products
