ABSTRACT
The purpose of this research work was to detect antibiotic remnants from chicken meat and
to quantify them. For this purpose, the chicken was collected from three poultry farms in Lahore
Sheikhupura area. These chickens were categorized according to quality (A, B and C grade) and on
the basis of the day of collection (7th, 21st and 35th Growth day). The qualitative analysis was done by
agar well diffusion method against B. subtilis, P. aeruginosa, E. coli and S. aureus. Analysis was done
for muscles, kidney and liver samples. The highest residual potential was observed for liver extract (7th
day) while the minimum for muscle extract (35th day). The samples with the highest zones of inhibition
against pathogens were analyzed by HPLC.
