| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> In this study, the presence of zeranol and trenbolon
in liver, kidney and meat samples marketed in Burdur between
January and November in 2009.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> The presence of zeranol and trenbolon
was investigated by ELISA in 30 liver, kidney and
meat samples obtained from slaughterhouse.<p>
<b>Results:</b> Out of 30 liver samples analyzed, 3 (10%) samples
had 100-150 ng/kg, 7 samples (23.3%) had 151-200 ng/kg
and 19 samples (63.3%) had 201-500 ng/kg zeranol. Out
of 30 kidney samples tested, 4 samples (13.3%) had 100-
150 ng/kg, 5 samples (16.6%) had 151-200 ng/kg and 21
samples (70%) had 201-500 ng/kg zeranol. Out of 30 meat
samples tested, 4 samples (13.3%) had 100-150 ng/kg, 5
samples (16.6%) had 151-200 ng/kg and 2 samples (6.6%)
had had 201-500 ng/kg zeranol. In terms of trenbolon, 1 liver
sample (3.3%) carried 100-150 ng/kg, 15 liver samples
(50%) carried 151-200 ng/kg and 14 liver samples (46.6%)
carried 201-500 ng/kg trenbolon. In kidney samples, 2 of
them had 100-150 ng/kg, 4 samples had 151-200 ng/kg
and 24 samples had 201-500 ng/kg trenbolon. Three meat
samples had 50-100 ng/kg, 21 meat samples had 100-150
ng/kg and 6 samples had 151-200 ng/kg trenbolone.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> It is stated that levels of zeranol and trenbolone
need to be confirmed by confirmation tests and anabolizan
levels determined in the study can be hazardous for
public health. |
