ABSTRACT

To increase chicken meat production, farmers add antibiotics oxytetracycline to prevent secondary infectious diseases due to viruses and feed additives and prevent bacterial diseases. This study aims to find an overview of the oxytetracycline antibiotic residues in broiler chicken meat sold in traditional markets and modern markets in Semarang City, Indonesia. The study is descriptive research, a survey method with a cross-sectional approach. The samples were broiler chicken meat with a total of 47 samples, consisting of 33 from traditional and 14 from modern markets. Sample examination was carried out by the Bioassay method to determine the oxytetracycline residue in the sample and with the HPLC method to determine its content. The results showed as many as three samples of broiler chicken meat containing oxytetracycline which is 0.1 ppm residue out of 47 samples. The three samples were from traditional markets in Semarang City, with the content of each residue namely 0.869 (Johar Market), 0.271 (Sampangan Market), and 0.366 (Damar Market). Meanwhile, the samples from the modern market did not contain oxytetracycline residue. Therefore, relevant agencies should regularly monitor antibiotic residues in Animal Source Foods, especially broiler chicken meat, both in traditional and modern markets.
