A study was performed to evaluate oxytetracycline (OTC) residue depletion in muscle, liver and kidney of turkeys receiving a 3-day administration of OTC hydrochloride in drinking water at 400 mg/L. The clean up procedure of tissue samples was performed as reported by Farrington et al. [1] but a mini SPE column was adopted, which allowed a considerable reduction of time, solvents and hazardous waste, and a recovery greater than 80%. The separation and identification of OTC and its derivative was easily obtained using isocratic HPLC condition and C18 column. Very low concentrations of the 4¢-epimer were detected at all sampling times in the kidney, up to the third day of withdrawal in liver and only at day 1 in muscle. The sum of OTC and 4-epi-OTC residues were by far lower than the MRL values after 3 days in all tissues, however, a safer withdrawal time, calculated according to the EU recommendation should be set at 5 days.

Abstract

A study was performed to evaluate oxytetracycline (OTC) residue depletion in muscle, liver and kidney of turkeys receiving a 3-day administration of OTC hydrochloride in drinking water at 400 mg/L. The clean up procedure of tissue samples was performed as reported by Farrington et al. [1] but a mini SPE column was adopted, which allowed a considerable reduction of time, solvents and hazardous waste, and a recovery greater than 80%. The separation and identification of OTC and its derivative was easily obtained using isocratic HPLC condition and C18 column. Very low concentrations of the 4¢-epimer were detected at all sampling times in the kidney, up to the third day of withdrawal in liver and only at day 1 in muscle. The sum of OTC and 4-epi-OTC residues were by far lower than the MRL values after 3 days in all tissues, however, a safer withdrawal time, calculated according to the EU recommendation should be set at 5 days.
