Description
One of the most often used antibiotics for treating bacterial infections in animals is the beta-lactam class of drugs. Animals are also given beta-lactams in feed to promote growth and as a preventative measure all at once.
Due to certain people's hypersensitivity to these antibiotics as well as the rise of bacterial strains that are resistant to them, it is crucial to monitor the levels of beta-lactam residues in milk.
The effectiveness of industrially processing raw milk for the creation of cheese or other fermented dairy products might also be affected by residual beta-lactam levels.
