To control the drug residues in foods, the national Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) have been determined by the international organizations; however, no regulation has been complied for MRL in food animals in Iran. This study was a systematic review and meta-analysis about studies of antibiotic residues in slaughtered poultry carcasses, in Iran. The information was first collected and analyzed throughout six international databases, and four Iranian national databases. According to the data, the total prevalence of antibiotic residues was obtained as 39.41%, 5.40%, and 0.30% using four-plate test (FPT), High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), and Enzyme-linked immuno_sorbent assay (ELISA) methods, respectively. The highest prevalence of the residues was shown in the liver by both methods of HPLC (47.75%) and ELISA (14.35%). Moreover, the total mean of antibiotics was recorded as 71.03 ppb and 65.86 ppb in different tissues using the HPLC and ELISA method, respectively. Based on this study, we can conclude that the prevalence of antibiotic residue in poultry meat in Iran is high and that this level does not cause health problems for consumers. It is highly recommended to execute tight surveillance strategies from the government in antibiotic monitoring.

为控制食品中的药物残留，国际组织已确定了国家最大残留限量（MRLs）；然而，伊朗没有对食用动物的 MRL 进行任何规定。本研究是对伊朗屠宰家禽尸体中抗生素残留研究的系统回顾和荟萃分析。这些信息首先在六个国际数据库和四个伊朗国家数据库中收集和分析。根据数据，使用四板试验（FPT）、高效液相色谱（HPLC）和酶联免疫吸附试验（ELISA）得到抗生素残留的总流行率为39.41%、5.40%和0.30%方法，分别。HPLC (47.75%) 和 ELISA (14.35%) 两种方法均显示肝脏中残留的最高流行率。而且，使用 HPLC 和 ELISA 方法分别记录了不同组织中抗生素的总平均值为 71.03 ppb 和 65.86 ppb。根据这项研究，我们可以得出结论，伊朗禽肉中抗生素残留的流行率很高，这一水平不会对消费者造成健康问题。强烈建议政府在抗生素监测中执行严格的监测策略。
