Abstract
Veterinary drug residues in foods and food products have been reported to be harmful for consumer health and must not be permitted in food intended for human consumption. These drugs include antibiotics, anthelmintics, beta-receptor agonists, and steroids. Immunoassay is recognized as the most powerful screening technique for a large number of different compounds. Because of the rapidity, sensitivity, and cost-effectiveness of this method, numerous immunoassays have already been developed for screening purposes to reduce sample loading for conventional analysis. In this review, the principles and an overview of advanced immunoassays for various veterinary drugs will be given.
