Occurrence of Ivermectin Residues in Egyptian Retail Market Milk and the Effect of Some Processing Treatments on Reduction of its Concentration

A. M. Zakaria, Ragab H. Mohamed, Rabee A. Ombarak.


Abstract
Ivermectin (IVM) is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic drug widely used in the veterinary field. Its use in food-producing animals may cause accumulation of its residues into the animal tissues that find their way into the food products, such as milk, and poses a health hazard to the consumer. In this study, a total of 60 samples of raw milk intended for human consumption, collected from retail markets in Menoufia Governorate Egypt, were screened for the presence of IVM residues by high-performance liquid chromatography. The results showed that 18.3% (11/60) of the examined Raw milk samples were contaminated with IVM residues with variable concentrations. Contaminated samples were exposed to some technological processes as boiling, fermentation, and skimming in a trial to reduce IVM residues concentration. Among these technological processes, skimming was found to have a significant effect on the reduction of IVM residues concentration. Monitoring of IVM residues in milk by accurate methods such as HPLC is required to safeguard milk consumers.

Key words: Ivermectin residues, raw milk, heat treatment, fermentation, skimming
