 Background and Aims: The use of antibiotics in poultry industry due to its residues in edible products is of important concern. In this study Enrofloxacine residue was evaluated by F.P.T and ELISA in slaughtered chicken tissues in provinces of North West of Iran.Materials and Methods: In this investigation tissues from muscle, liver and kidney of 160 broiler carcasses were collected from west Azerbayjan, East Azerbayjan and Ardabil provinces of Iran to determine enrofloxocin residues in which F.P.T and ELISA were employed.Results: Based on results obtained from F.P.T, 28 carcasses out of 160 were investigated for enrofloxocin residues. ELISA on 28 FPT positive carcasses showed enrofloxocin residues in 24 liver, 7 kidney and 4 muscle tissues were above the Residue Limit (MRL). The minimum and maximum detected levels obtained by ELISA in muscle and liver were 10  ng/g and 659.31 ng/g, respectively.Conclusion: This investigation showed that enrofloxocin was extensively used in North West of Iran especially in west Azerbayjan province it seems that the standard period for not using this antibiotic is not followed accordingly  Source: Urmia Med J 2011: 22(1): 82 ISSN: 1027-3727
