I'm working on milk quality for my Ph.D thesis and I need to know what is the protocol which shall I follow to detect the antibiotic residues in raw cow milk from dairy farm.
chromatographic, immunological and microbiological techniques are generally used for antibiotic residue detection. The chromatographic technique is mostly being used over others, because the rate is much higher in recent times, due to higher sensitivity and specificity and higher quantification capability.
firstly you must collect information about types of antibiotic used in study area, then you must detect about instrument in our lab, like Hplc or another technique, you can also used bacteria as indicators of High used of antibiotic, ( Detection of Resistance gene
