Bulletin of the IDF N° 471/2014: Detection of inhibitors and antimicrobial residues in milk and dairy products by screening methods - Guidance on preparation of the test portion
Treatment of lactating cows with antimicrobial agents can result in the presence of drug residues in milk. Tests available for the screening of antimicrobial residues have been developed, and often validated, on raw milk and are not immediately applicable to dairy products such as whole milk powder, skimmed milk powder, whey, condensed milk, buttermilk, etc. Many dairy products require special preparation before they can be used in screening procedures routinely used for raw milk.
