Abstract:

To study the residue elimination pattern of enrofloxacin and its metabolites (ciprofloxacin) in Jiangshan black-bone chickens, 76 Jiangshan black-bone chickens, of similar size, half roosters and half hens, were raised under the same feeding conditions until 97-107 days of age. Enrofloxacin soluble powder was administered continuously at a dose of 0.75 g per liter of drinking water for 5 d. Samples of muscle, liver, kidney and sebum were collected at 5, 7, 10, 14, 21, 28 and 42 d after drug withdrawal. The residues of enrofloxacin and its metabolites were detected using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The withdrawal periods for enrofloxacin and its metabolite in roosters and hens were calculated using WT1.4 software. The results showed that the withdrawal periods in hens were 148.2, 17.6, 57.4 and 232.3 d for muscle, liver, kidney and sebum, respectively; in roosters, the withdrawal periods were 115.2, 19.1, 60.7 and 259.9 d, respectively. To ensure that enrofloxacin residues in Jiangshan black-bone chicken meet the regulatory requirements, it is recommended that the withdrawal period be set at no less than 260 d.
