Abstract(s)

In farming activities, antimicrobials are widely used as a therapeutic measure in the treatment of bacterial infections, disease prophilaxys and as a growth promoter (food additives) (Marshall & Levy, 2011). The presence of antimicrobial residues in milk may represent risks for human health, namely allergic reactions on hypersensitive individuals, or even cause problems indirectly by development of resistant strains of bacteria (Tillotson, Doern, & Blondeau, 2006).
