Tissue depletion study of enrofloxacin and its metabolite ciprofloxacin in broiler chickens after oral administration of a new veterinary pharmaceutical formulation containing enrofloxacin

- A new veterinary drug formulation containing enrofloxacina was studied in broiler chickens.
- A reliable validated LC-MS/MS analytical method was used for quantitation of ENR and CIP residues in chicken target tissues.
- No sample results were below the limits of quantification (LOQ), meaning reliability on withdrawal time calculation.
- The new veterinary formulation containing ENR has a low withdrawal period based on EU and Japanese government requirements.
- This study is useful to regulatory bodies responsible for protect the consumer health from the consumption of chicken meat.
