The Residue Levels of Enrofloxacin Antibiotics in Catfish (Clarias batrachus)

Abstract Enrofloxacin (EXF) in fish comes from feed, water, and the environment. Through these three sources enrofloxacin will accumulate in the body of the fish. Enrofloxacin enters the metabolic process and enters the tissue so that fish meat containing enrofloxacin will be produced, and can threaten human health such as the occurrence of carcinogenic potential. Tests have been carried out to test the time of decay of enrofloxacin in catfish after various doses, namely group A (control), B (25 ppb) and C (50 ppb). The fish samples analyzed were catfish which were tested by Enrofloxacin using the ELISA (Linked Immunosorbent Assay) method. The results showed that the last residual content of enrofloxacin was added to feed every day during the treatment of concentration for group B (17.89 ppb) and group C (17.47 ppb). However, the time for all enrofloxacin residues in catfish to be the same as the control or normal conditions turned out to take 80 days with enrofloxacin residual concentrations for group B (2.12 ppb) and group C (5.13 ppb)
