ABSTRACT

The effects of preservatives (potassium dichromate and sodium azide), heat treatment (untreated and 82[degrees]C/10 min), and lactation stage upon the response of the microbial tests (BRT AiM and Delvotest) utilized for the detection of residues of antimicrobial substances in ewe milk were examined. Milk samples were collected from the morning milking of 50 Manchega ewes every 2 wk, from 15 d postpartum until the end of lactation. A total of 2322 samples were analyzed by BRT A...

Journal of Dairy Science ; ABSTRACT The Delvotest method detection limits per manufacturer's instructions at a fixed reading time of 3 h for 24 antimicrobial agents were determined in ewe milk by photometric measurement. For each drug, eight concentrations were tested on 20 ewe milk samples from individual ewes. Detection

Journal of Dairy Science ; ABSTRACT The experiment was conducted from March to July 2002 using 5 intensively managed flocks of Southern Italy. In each flock, 2 groups of 50 ewes were created. The groups were designated LSCC (low somatic cell count [SCC]) when their milk SCC was lower than 500,000/mL and HSCC (high SCC) when
