Revalorization of reject milk by degradation of antibiotic residues with enzymatic nanoparticles

Milk from dairy cows under antibiotic treatment, also known as reject milk, cannot be marketed. Alternatively, it is either fed to steers as a substitute for lacto-replacements or is released into the environment. However, both practices contribute to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which has become a global health threat, affecting both animals and humans, as well as the environment. Therefore, alternative solutions must be sought and in this context the REVALLET project aims to demonstrate to the sector that it is possible to revalue reject milk by eliminating antibiotic residues using an innovative, easy to implement, effective and low-cost system based on enzymatic nanoparticles capable of degrading antibiotic residues.
