MOLERO-SARAS, Gladys L et al. Remainders of Enrofloxacina in Muscular and Hepatic Tissues of Slaughtered Chickens Benefitted in the San Francisco Municipality, Zulia State, Venezuela. Rev. Cient. (Maracaibo) [online]. 2006, vol.16, n.6, pp.629-633. ISSN 0798-2259.

The present study was lead to determine the presence of remainders of enrofloxacine in tissues (muscle and liver) of slaughtered chickens in four plants located in the San Francisco municipality of the Zulia state, Venezuela. A chicken was taken directly from the retail store in each plant during five consecutive days, giving a total of twenty chickens. The analysis of the samples was made through liquid chromatography of high resolution (HPLC). The enrofloxacine presence was over the Limits Maximum suggested of Remainders by FDA, Nourishing Codex and EMEA, when reaching the following results: 3.50 mg/kg in breast, 3.81 mg/kg in leg and 3.62 mg/kg in liver, which let a reasonable doubt in relation to the health of the chicken consumers. Additionally, it is discussed on the possibility of considering polluting agents or not such levels of enrofloxacine
