ABSTRACT

Ewe milk samples from different ovine dairy farms from the Castilla-La Mancha region of Spain were collected from bulk tanks to estimate the occurrence of antibiotic residues in raw and heated (82°C, 10 min) milk by the Delvotest SP test. The month of collection, somatic cell counts, and bacteriology were analyzed and examined by means of a logistic regression model. The screening of a total of 2686 raw milk samples showed 1.7% "positive" and 2.1% "doubtful" results, ...
