RESUMO

RESUMO Anthelmintics são usados para combater nematodes. O mau uso de anti-helmínticos pode aumentar o custo da produção de leite. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi determinar a presença de anti-helmínticos no leite de cabra. Foram utilizados vinte cabras, divididos em quatro grupos de cinco animais: I - animais tratados com um antihelmíntico à base de ivermectina; II - animais tratados com moxidectina; III- animais tratados com cloridrato de levamisol; E IV: animais tratados com albendazole. Amostras de leite foram coletadas individualmente: antes, e 1, 2, 3, 15 e 21 dias após a administração dos anti-helmínticos. A determinação dos resíduos antihelmínticos foi realizada por cromatografia líquida-espectrometria de massa (LC-MS). De acordo com os resultados, houve um efeito exponencial (P <0.05) para ivermectina e moxidectina. A moxidectina foi o anti-helmíntico que deixou um resíduo no leite por mais tempo, até 21 dias. Contudo, com todos os anthelmintics pesquisados, os resíduos estavam abaixo do limite máximo recomendado pelas agências de inspeção.SUMMARY Anthelmintics are used to combat nematodes. The misuse of anthelmintics can raise the cost of milk production. The objective of this research was to determine the presence of anthelmintics in goat milk. Twenty goats were used, divided into four groups of five animals: I- animals treated with an ivermectin-based anthelmintic; II- animals treated with moxidectin; III- animals treated with levamisole hydrochloride; and IV: animals treated with albendazole. Milk samples were collected individually: before, and 1, 2, 3, 15 and 21 days after administration of the anthelmintics. Determination of anthelmintic residues was performed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). According to the results, there was an exponential effect (P<0.05) for ivermectin and moxidectin. Moxidectin was the anthelmintic that left a residue in the milk for the longest time, up to 21 days. However, with all the anthelmintics researched, residues were below the maximum limit recommended by the inspecting agencies.
