This study was designed to detect and quantify the presence of tetracycline residues from eggs in commercial farms and households in Sokoto metropolis. Out of the 160 eggs sampled (54 exotic chickens eggs, 53 indigenous chickens eggs and guinea fowls eggs) and analyzedfor tetracycline residues using competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, an overall detection rate of 40.6% (65/160) was recorded. Exotic chicken eggs had a detection rate of 48.1% (26/54),Indigenous chicken eggs had detection rate of 34.0% (18/53) and guinea fowls had detection rate of 39.6% (21/53). Chi-square analysis showed no statistical significant association between tetracycline residues detected and type of eggs sampled P>0.05. Mann Whitney U test showed an overall statistical significant difference in the mean concentration of tetracycline residues P <0.05. From the questionnaire survey an overall percentage of poultry farmers that use tetracycline in their poultry were 67.5% (108/160). It was concluded that eggs from commercial farms and households had tetracycline residues below the maximum residue limit. This necessitated the need carry out tetracycline detection and quantification throughout the entire state. Government should establish tetracycline and other antibiotic residues enlightenment, monitoring and surveillance programmes within the state.
