  • Title: Microbiological determination of neomycin in feeds and formulated products.
    Author: Stahl GL, Kratzer DD.
    Journal: J Assoc Off Anal Chem; 1984; 67(5):863-5. PubMed ID: 6389482.
    Abstract:
    An AOAC modified method is described for the microbiological assay of neomycin, which has been adapted to include complete feeds, supplements, premixes, liquids, oil suspensions, boluses, and antibiotic-impregnated paper. The method features a more sensitive standard response line with a monolayer plating system. The use of a buffered plating medium in place of the water-prepared medium results in a curve with less degree of slope, which allows for more accurate interpretation of the standard response. The feed extract diluent used for standard response line dilution, which is prepared from exposure of the feed extract fluid to pH changes, heat, and sodium hypochlorite, has been eliminated. The constant salt concentration diluent used for the preparation of standards is the same as the salt concentration of the sample extract solution to be tested. Results for 50 commercial complete feeds and 50 commercial premixes received over the last 5 years produced an overall mean recovery of 101% with a mean percent recovery range of 80-112%. A statistical analysis of these 100 commercial, complete feeds and premixes, ranging in concentration from 47 g/ton to 70 g/lb, indicates the assay has little, if any, concentration-related bias. Precision and accuracy of the method was supported by laboratory studies of 20 assays that produced a mean recovery of 101% and standard deviation of 3.
