摘要

This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics and tissue depletion of oxytetracycline (OTC) in broiler chickens. Forty-two birds were assigned to two treated groups and one control; OTC was administered intramuscularly at 20 mg/kg for three days or as a single radiolabeled [3H] OTC dose. Tissue samples collected up to 168 h were analysed via ELISA (IC20: 0.05 ppb; IC50: 0.22 ppb). Peak residues (> 250 ppb) occurred within 48 h in kidney, intestine, liver and muscles, declining markedly by 120–144 h. Radiotracer studies confirmed depletion patterns. Health risk assessment indicated that 12.5% of samples exceeded safe exposure limits, highlighting potential dietary risks.
