Abstract

The widespread use of antibiotics in livestock production has raised serious concerns regarding antibiotic residues in animal-derived food products such as milk, meat, eggs, and honey. This study evaluates antibiotic residue management practices and quality control measures implemented during 2021–2025 at Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Delhi. The research integrates field-level observations, farmer awareness programs, residue monitoring strategies, and regulatory interventions. Findings indicate that irrational antibiotic use, lack of withdrawal period adherence, and inadequate testing infrastructure contribute to residue contamination. However, recent regulatory measures, including stricter bans and farmer training initiatives, have significantly improved quality control. The study highlights the need for integrated surveillance, awareness, and technological interventions to ensure food safety and combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
