SYSTEMATIC TESTING OF INHIBITORY SUBSTANCES IN MILK*

Abstract
A portion of a 30 ml sample of milk is tested for general inhibition by a starter activity test and if positive results are obtained the remainder of the sample is subjected to a disc assay test for antibiotics and specific chemical test for quaternary ammonium compounds and sulfonamides. All of these tests are readily adaptable to a systematic laboratory procedure. Their significance and limitations are discussed.
