Being the result of obtaining high milk yield, cow mastitis is quite common in the modern dairy industry, thus antibiotics like β-Lactams and cefalexin, etc., are frequently administered in veterinary clinical practice. However, these antibiotics residues in milk may cause potential damage to human health, which is now strictly controlled and supervised in many countries. Maximum Residue Level/Limit (MRL) has been established against these two classes of drugs in USA, EU, Japan, China and many other countries.
