Tetracyclines are another group of antibiotics that can end up in milk and pose a health risk to humans. They are widely used to treat animals, but can also pass into milk due to misuse or dosage errors.
 
One of the reasons for the presence of tetracyclines in milk is their use as a prophylaxis or treatment for animals that are not sick but are at increased risk of infection. In this case, drug residues may remain in the milk.
 
In addition, animals can develop an infection or illness that requires antibiotic treatment. In this case, the animal receives the antibiotic for a certain period of time, and the remains of the drug can pass into the milk.
 
It is also possible that an animal receives tetracycline by mistake or at the wrong dose. In this case, residues of the drug may pass into the milk and pose a threat to human health.
 
To avoid the presence of tetracyclines in milk, it is necessary to strictly control the use of antibiotics in animals, properly process milk and monitor the timing of the elimination of drugs from the body of animals. Measures must also be taken to combat the illegal use of antibiotics as germinated animal feed.
 
In conclusion, the presence of tetracyclines in milk is a major health problem for humans. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures to combat this problem and strictly control the use of antibiotics in animals. This is the only way to ensure the safety of milk and the health of the people who consume it.
