Analysis reveals high antimicrobial residues in broiler meat across three countries, suggesting need for better testing.
We screened 558 chicken breast meat samples from farms (at the end of production) and endpoints (sale/slaughter outlets) in India (Gujarat state), Bangladesh, and northern Vietnam for 69 veterinary antimicrobials and tested outcomes with the EU maximum residue levels. The prevalence of non-compliant samples declined from farms to endpoints, where it was 3.7%-8.6% (vs 0.05–0.09% in the EU for 2021-2022). Strengthened residue testing and stakeholder awareness of withdrawal periods are needed as poultry production intensifies.
