Abstract: 

Antibiotics, incorporated in animal feed at low doses, have a preventive effect on certain bacterial infections and modify the composition of the intestinal micro flora leading to better assimilation of food by animals. These protective effects lead to a zoo technical effect in the form of an increase in the growth rate. The unfortunate consequences of this procedure are the appearance of multidrug-resistant bacteria with the usual antibiotics in the animal and the consumer. This routine study was conducted at the ISSMV in Dalaba from imported turkey meat. The 4 Petri dish method was used to detect traces of residual antibiotics. All 20 samples tested gave no positive result, with no zones of obvious inhibition. Regular control of imported meat should be imposed for the detection of antibiotic residues in Guinea
