Background/Objectives: The presence of antibiotic residues (ARs) in animal products such as milk can be an important driver antimicrobial resistance commensal and pathogenic bacteria. Previous studies on ARs Nepal have demonstrated the samples but without further characterization for risk factor analysis. This study aimed to quantify prevalence factors 140 peri-urban dairy farms Kathmandu, Nepal, included a cross-sectional survey 2019 estimate farm-level AR prevalence. Results: Our results...
The prevalence of two groups antibiotics; namely penicillin and sulfonamides was studied in fresh milk available Kathmandu Valley Nepal. samples (n = 140) were collected from three different sources; individual farmers, cottage dairies organized valley. Qualitative semi-quantitative analysis with rapid screening kits revealed that 23% positive for antibiotic residues the sulfonamide (1-256 µg/kg). High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses detected 81% amoxicillin (68-802 µg/kg),...

Cheese is a highly nutritious fermented milk product with diverse flavour and texture. When compared to whole (3-4% protein fat), it contains 30-40% fat along other minerals soluble vitamins. Fewer varieties of cheese are available in Nepal the European American regions. Due increased awareness health benefits expansion cattle farming Nepal, demand supply increasing trend. To overcome holiday surplus season, manufacturing could be an attractive venture. By meeting quality standards set by...
