Oxytetracycline residue in Tilapia

Detection of Oxytetracycline Residue in Infant Formula by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)

Determination of drug residues in food is of great importance due to their toxicity. Long-term exposure with low level of drug residues could be important, especially in children. Based on document study, oxytetracycline (OTC) is a prophylaxis and treatment agent for great number of diseases and possesses a broad spectrum activity against many pathogenic organisms and can be toxic or cause alle...

Modeling residue uptake by eggs. 1. Similar drug residue patterns in developing yolks following injection with ampicillin or oxytetracycline.

This study was conducted to model the pattern of antibiotic drug uptake within yolks of developing follicles. In two separate experiments, 16 hens were divided into equal groups (n = 8) and injected only once with either 400 mg/kg ampicillin or 200 mg/kg oxytetracycline (OTC: total hens = 32) approximately 1 h after oviposition. Twenty-four hours following injections, hens were euthanatized and...

Antibiotic Usage and Oxytetracycline Residue in African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus in Ibadan, Nigeria)

The practice of antimicrobial usage in African catfish (Clarias gariepenius) production and the presence of antimicrobial residue in catfish in Oyo State were investigated by cross sectional study. Twenty commercial fish farmers were interviewed using interviewers administered semi-structured questionnaire on the pattern of antibiotic usage, knowledge of occurrence and risks of antimicrobial re...
