The Mekong Delta of Vietnam is a hotspot of antimicrobial use (AMU), but there is no information on the quality of the labelling and strength of antimicrobial products used in poultry production.
Based on a large random sample of farms, we identified the 20 most used antimicrobial products in the area, and investigated their antimicrobial active ingredient (AAI) content by UPLC-MS/MS (91 analytical tests).
Only 17/59 (28.8%) batches contained all AAIs within 10% of the declared strength. Worryingly, 65.0% products provided in their label preparation guidelines for both therapeutic and prophylactic use. Withdrawal times for both meat and eggs were stated in 8/20 (40%) products.
Results highlight deficiencies in quality and labelling contents that undermine authorities' efforts to discourage inappropriate use of antimicrobials.
越南湄公河三角洲是抗菌药物使用(AMU)的热点地区,但关于家禽生产中使用的抗菌产品的标签质量和强度尚无相关信息。
基于大量随机抽样的养殖场,我们确定了该地区使用最频繁的20种抗菌产品,并通过超高效液相色谱-串联质谱法(91次分析测试)调查了它们的抗菌活性成分(AAI)含量。
只有17/59(28.8%)批次的所有AAI含量在申报强度的10%以内。令人担忧的是,65.0%的产品在其标签中提供了治疗和预防用途的配制指南。8/20(40%)的产品标明了肉类和蛋类的停药期。
结果凸显了质量和标签内容方面的缺陷,这些缺陷破坏了当局为劝阻不当使用抗菌药物所做的努力。
