Improved methodology for detection of antibiotic residues in milk and meat

Improved methodology for detection of antibiotic residues in milk and meat

ILVO and Ghent University have set up an analytical method for antibiotic residues in milk and meat matrices that are faster, cheaper, and at least as easy and reliable than what already exists.

ILVO conducts algae feeding trials on broilers and laying hens for the first time

Do hens and their meat or eggs benefit from adding algae to their feed?

Antibiotic residues, antibiotic resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes in manure, soil and plants and the potential exposure of humans

This is expected to increase sharply in the future due to the growing world population and the rising demand for meat. The direct link between the animal sector and people has already been studied, namely the transfer of antibiotic residues, resistance genes and pathogens via the consumption of meat.

Internet of Food and Farm 2020

In the project 19 use cases will be set up in 5 sectors (arable, dairy, fruit, vegetables and meat). During the project there will also be an open call to attract new technologies and use cases.

Precision livestock farming

On the one hand, the demand for meat is increasing worldwide, while the pressure of livestock farming on the climate and environment is also increasing. Furthermore, the methods used to house animals, animal welfare issues, and the high use of antibiotics are coming under fire.

Fostering Precision Agriculture and Livestock Farming through secure access to large-scale HPC-enabled virtual industrial experimentation environment empowering scalable Big Data analytics

One is about “Sustainable pig production”, together with Vion Food Group, and will focus on a better usage of the vast amounts of data collected in a slaughterhouse, hyperspectral imaging for meat quality and the usage of sensor data to alert for pig diseases on-farm.

Chemical food safety-related analyses

Screening tests validated by ILVO In addition, commercial screening tests for the detection of antibiotics in milk, honey, meat, or other food products can be validated according to norm 2002/657/EC of the Commission and the CRL guidelines for the validation of screening methods for residues of veterinary drugs.

Animal Related Analyses (ANIMALAB)

This covers several aspects: Composition and product quality of cattle feeds.Composition of animal end-products, such as eggs, milk, and meatAccurate and reliable analyses are extremely important for the governmental bodies in charge of policy as well as the fish and cattle feed industry, private aquaculturists and animal farmers.

Validation of commercial screening tests at ILVO: current list

Our main focus has been on the validation of tests for the detection of antibiotics in milk; however validation studies in other matrices (meat, honey, fish, etc.), as well as of other compounds (aflatoxins, colorants, etc.) have been performed. Contact: Wim Reybroeck and Katrien Broekaert.
