Abstract
The Dairy Laboratory at Biotechnical Faculty in Podgorica tested using microbiological inhibitor test - Delvotest®Accelerator, presence of inhibitory substances in raw milk produced on dairy farms of individual producers, cooperates of Montenegrian dairies. During period of six months, 6161 samples of raw milk were tested and it was determined that 478 samples or 7.84 % were positive. This is a significantly higher percentage of positive samples in comparison to European Union countries, but it is not surprising, considering that in these countries there is a decades-old regular system for antibiotic residues control in milk, while in Montenegro testing is provided on level of annual monitoring. The results of analysis indicate that in Montenegro, it is necessary to introduce regular systematic control of residues of antibiotics and other inhibitory substances in raw milk.
