Beta-lactam antibiotics are among the most widely used antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections in animals. Beta-lactams are also administered to animals in feed for growth promotion and for collective prophylactic treatment.

The monitoring of Beta-lactam residues in milk is important because of the hypersensitivity of some individuals to these antibiotics and also because of the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.

In addition, residual level of Beta-lactams can alter the efficiency of industrial processing of raw milk toward cheese or other fermented dairy products preparation.
