Quantitation of Antibiotics and Insecticides in Poultry Feed using LC-MS/MS

Aug 22, 2016 | Blogs, Food / Beverage | 0 comments

Quantitating antibiotics and insecticides in poultry is serious business. Overuse can lead to antibiotic resistance while insecticide residuals can cause harmful side effects in humans. In the United States, for example, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA), has offered up a plan to limit common antibiotics in feed, which are used to encourage growth. However, this is a voluntary plan, and as the following application note, “Quantitation of Antibiotics and Insecticides in Poultry Feed using LC-MS/MS,” points out, antibiotics have been shown to accumulate in poultry feathers, which are in turn used for nutritional elements in the feed.  Therefore, as the government agency works on getting suppliers on board with the new plan, scientists are working on a testing method of their own which detects nine antibiotics and four insecticides in poultry feed including:

  • Fluoroquinolones
  • Sulfonamides
  • Amphenicols
  • Macrolides
  • Quinolones

Perhaps you have seen this study, but just in case you missed it, we have included the full report in the Food & Beverage Compendium, which is now available for download.Download the Food & Bev Compendium >

Application Note at a Glance: To give you more insight into this application note and others like it in the compendium, consider how poultry feed contains many nutritional ingredients. Researchers had to design a method that included a hefty extraction method and clean-up efforts. As a result, they designed a single method to quantify a wide selection of antibiotics and insecticides in poultry feed using a QTRAP® 5500 for detection. Want to see how the extraction/sample prep was carried out? These experimental conditions along with separation and MS/MS detection are included within the compendium (pages 121 to 125). 

The Food & Beverage Compendium is full of similar studies on topics including:

Supporting new CRISPR gene editing systems

Prime editing (PE) is a next-generation gene editing technology that utilizes a Cas9 protein fused to a prime editing guide ribonucleic acid (pegRNA) to achieve high CRISPR/Cas9 editing efficiency and precision. However, the length requirement of pegRNAs at 120–250 nucleotides (nt) and their high level of secondary structure formation present analytical challenges for the purity analysis of chemically synthesized pegRNAs during development and quality control (QC).

A new approach for comprehensive AAV evaluation including full and empty analysis

Certain next-gen vaccines and gene therapy applications rely on the usage of adeno-associated viruses (AAV) as a delivery vehicle. To ensure the safety and efficacy of viral vector drugs, multiple critical quality attributes (CQAs) need to be well characterized.

The rising tide of food allergies: Common questions and crucial insights

Allergy policies for nut-free commercial flights and nut-free childcare settings are not a rare occurrence nowadays—the reason is a rise in food allergies. Nuts are the most potent allergenic foods in terms of the amount that is required to elicit an allergic reaction and the severity of those reactions.
