Determination of Diethylstilbestrol Residue in Raw Meat Sold in Burdur

Abstract

were obtained from different markets and slaughterhause used as test materials. The results indicated that the diethylstilbestrol residue was
not detected in any of the samples. In conclusion, since presence of hormones in raw meat and meat products is harmful for consumers,
utilization of anabolic agents must be strictly controlled in Turkey
