Abstract
The therapeutic use of antibiotics in human and veterinary
medicine constituted an effective weapon for a long
time counters many pathogenic germs. However, abusive
use of certain antibiotics in preventive treatment or as a
food additive led to possibilities of development of some
health problems such as the allergic reactions, cancer,
and even increasing the populations of antibiotics
resistant microbes (Berghiche et al., 2017; Nisha, 2008;
Zhang et al., 2003). Abuse of antibiotics is a common
practice in the field of poultry farming in Algeria, while
farmers are usually unaware of the risks associated with
the antibiotics residue and do not often attention to
withdrawal period for each antibiotic (Berghiche et al.,
2018; Goossens, 2014). If the antibiotics used by veterinarians
and poultry farmers exceed, the limits consumers'
health may be endangered. There is a great lack of health
monitoring about abuse of antibiotics in Algerian poultry
farms. So, because of health side effects of antibiotic
residue in white meat produced in Algeria, implementation
of effective programs is too vital by national
authorities to reduce this hygienic risk.
