우리나라에 축산물을 수출한 국가들이 2022년과 2023년 에 제출한 2019-2022년 국가별 잔류물질검사프로그램(NRP) 자료를 바탕으로 축산물 유형별, 국가별로 잔류허용기준 을 위반한 동물용의약품과 환경오염물질의 현황을 분석하 였다. 가장 많이 위반된 잔류물질은 네오마이신 2 4 1건, 페 니실린G 183건, 겐타마이신 151건, 세프티오퍼 113건, 니카 바진 103건 등이였고 축산물별로는 소고기, 돼지고기, 가 금육, 우유, 계란 등의 순서로 나타났다. 잔류 위반이 가 장 많았던 소고기에서는 페니실린G, 세프티오퍼, 플루니신 , 네오마이신, 벤질페니실린, 멜록시캄, 플로르페니콜, 질 파테롤 등 전염병 치료에 사용되는 항생제와 해열제 및 성장 촉진에 사용되는 동물용의약품이 주로 검출되었지만 , 돼지고기에서는 성장촉진을 목적으로 사용되는 락토파민 과 항생제인 독시사이클린, 클로람페니콜, 벤질페니실린, 난드롤론, 티오라실, 스트렙토마이신 및 임신 촉진에 사용 되는 호르몬이 가장 흔하게 검출된 것으로 나타났다. 가 금육에서는 콕시듐증 치료에 사용되는 항생제인 니카바진 이 가장 많이 위반되었으며, 스트렙토마이신, 아미노글리 코사이드 항생제, 벤질페니실린, 독시사이클린 및 기타 항 생제가 그 뒤를 이었다. 동물용의약품의 잔류 위반은 많 은 국가에서 보고되고 있으나, 다이옥신과 PCB와 같은 환 경오염 물질의 잔류는 주로 유럽 국가에서 보고되었다. 국 가별 잔류물질의 차이는 각국에서 사육되는 가축과 사육 관리 방식의 차이에 의한 것으로, 소고기의 잔류 수준이 높은 것은 소는 다른 동물에 비해 질병 발생 시 개체별로 치료되기 때문일 것으로 추정된다. 본 연구 결과는 수입 축산물의 안전성 확보를 위하여 국가별, 축산물별로 중점 적으로 검사가 필요한 물질을 제시함으로써 매년 실시하 는 수입 축산물 잔류물질검사를 보다 과학적이고 효율적 으로 수행할 수 있는 기반을 제공하였다.

Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic effective against aerobic gram-negative bacteria and is also used in veterinary medicine, particularly in the swine and bovine industries. However, no gentamicin product is currently approved for treating equine diseases in Korea. The present study aims to examine the time-dependent residue of gentamicin in horses after intravenous injection (IV) via jugular vein. The test product was injected at 6.6 mg/kg BW via jugular vein in nine horses. Blood was collected from the horse's jugular vein at 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours after injection. To purify the gentamicin in serum, 100μL of 20 mM HFBA in DW, 100 μL of 30% trichloroacetic acid and 300 μL of 20 mM heptafluorobutyric acid (HFBA) in acetonitrile (ACN) were added to 500 μL of serum and supernatant was applied to LC-MS/MS after centrifugation. LC-MS/MS-8050 analyzed the level of gentamicin in serum with Electrospray ionization (ESI) and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) positive mode. Gentamicin C1 was 478 m/z and product ions were 322, 157 m/z. Precursor ion of Gentamicin C1a was 450 m/z and product ions were 322, 160 m/z. Precursor ion of Gentamicin C2 and C2a was 464 m/z and product ions were 322, 160 m/z. The LC column was a C18 and mobile phase composed of 20 mM HFBA in 5% ACN and 20 mM HFBA in 50% ACN. The amount of gentamicin was calculated by adding four components of gentamicin (C1, C1a, C2 and C2a). The pharmacokinetic parameters of gentamicin were calculated by the WinNonlin program. The Cmax of gentamicin in horse serum was 93 ± 17 μg/kg and the Tmax was 0.25 ± 0 hours. The T1/2 was 6.41 ± 2.32 hours and the CLt was 0.05 ± 0.01L/hr/kg. The Vd was shown as 0.44 ± 0.13 L/kg and the MRT was 1.98 ± 0.55 hours. In conclusion, our data provides useful pharmacokinetic parameters for gentamicin in horses following IV injection.

In Korea, twenty-nine types of microbial pesticides and thirty-two types of naturally occurring materials and chemicals are exempt from MRL (maximum residue level), and fifty types of active ingredients of pesticides are exempt from establishing the acceptable daily intake (ADI) during the pesticide registration process. Out of these materials, twenty-nine types of microbial pesticides and thirty-two types of naturally occurring materials and chemicals are exempt from MRL. Twenty-seven microorganisms and fifteen chemicals are exempt from both ADI and MRL. The European Union exempts the MRL for 148 active pesticide ingredients, and CODEX suggested sixty-three substances as exempt substances from setting the MRL. In Japan, sixty-five types of pesticide components were exempted from MRL. MRL-exempted substances differed depending on the referenced agency, which is presumed to be due to differences in the types of pesticides approved and the approved usage methods in each country. In most countries, MRL exemptions for pesticides are based on toxicity and exposure assessments, and these substances are composed of substances that have a very low risk to the human body or remain in food and are not exposed to the human body and MRLs are exempted based on GAP (good agricultural practice) approved during the licensing process. By referring to the CODEX and the European Union's MRL exemption guidelines, a guideline for evaluating pesticide safety was prepared to determine it as an MRL-exempt substance when setting standards for pesticide residue in Korea. Conclusively, most regulatory agencies decide whether to exempt pesticides from MRL by considering GAP and indications for use during the registration process, and criteria for evaluating exemptions include risk factors, possibility of human exposure and management options.
