Abstract

Antibiotics are used not only for treating animals, but also to stimulate growth, fattening, and increase their productivity. When such drugs enter the human body with meat products, resistance, dysbiosis, etc. develops. It is very important to have methods available to control each carcass. The article discusses the microbiological methods used on the territory of the Russian Federation. They are highly sensitive, while at the same time they are not very specific. Some of them can be attributed to express methods, since the analysis time is 3-4 hours. These methods do not require any special complex equipment and can be used in any veterinary laboratory.
