Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The application of veterinary drugs is increasingly extensive with the rapid development of intensive aquaculture, which ensure the healthy and sustainable development of aquaculture. Meanwhile, the illegal use and irrational application of veterinary drugs are also generally common. Veterinary drug residue is the significant factor that affects safety of animal-derived food, such as toxicity, antimicrobial resistance, carcinogenesis, teratogenicity, mutagenicity, allergic reactions, environmental pollution, etc., which seriously hazard to human health. Many countries promulgated decrees or commands to prohibit the use of antibacterial agents as feed additives for food animal breeding. Therefore, it is of great significance to establish rapid, sensitive, and reliable detection methods to monitor the residues of veterinary drugs in animal food.

Qualitative analysis of veterinary drugs is a necessary means for pharmacokinetic research. As a discipline to study on the temporal change of drug concentration, it is extremely important to accurately detect the drug concentration in tissues and organs. This Special Issue of Metabolites will publish reviews and original articles covering the latest development of the study on veterinary drug residue detection and pharmacokinetics in livestock, poultry, aquatic animal, etc.

This study aimed to determine the pharmacokinetics of danofloxacin in Gushi chickens after a single oral (PO) and intravenous (IV) dose at 5 mg/kg body weight (BW). Thirty-two Gushi chickens, aged 20 weeks, were selected and divided into two groups at random, with each group consisting of 16 chickens, evenly distributed between males and females. Following danofloxacin administration, blood samples were taken at predetermined time intervals and the plasma was separated. The concentrations of danofloxacin in plasma were quantified by HPLC with a fluorescence detector. Then the concentrations versus time data were subjected to non-compartmental analysis (NCA) using Phoenix software (version: 8.1.0). After administering danofloxacin orally at a dose of 5 mg/kg BW to Gushi chickens, our results demonstrated that the peak concentration reached 0.53 μg/mL at 4 h. The half-life of absorption (t1/2ka) was determined to be 2.37 ± 1.60 h, and the bioavailability (F) was calculated as 40.12 ± 15.83%. For both oral and intravenous administration, the area under the concentration–time curve (AUC0-∞) was determined to be 4.72 ± 1.86 and 11.76 ± 3.25 h·µg/mL, respectively. The corresponding elimination half-life (t1/2λz) was measured as 11.24 ± 3.90 and 10.17 ± 3.72 h. Moreover, the mean residence time (MRT) was calculated as 10.20 ± 2.47 and 7.05 ± 1.97 h for these respective routes. Based on the calculated AUC/MIC ratio values, it can be inferred that the 5 mg/kg BW dosage of danofloxacin, whether administered orally or intravenously, is expected to effectively treat Escherichia coli and Pasteurella multocida infections in Gushi chickens.

As set in the maximum residue limit regulations of the European Commission, this study aimed to obtain the residual parameters in milk with optimized UPLC-MS/MS conditions and to determine the conclusive drug withdrawal period to ensure food safety. In this research, an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed to study cefquinome sulfate’s residue elimination in milk and to calculate cefquinome’s withdrawal period. Twelve healthy cows free of endometritis were selected for the experiment. Before using the drug, the vaginal orifice and perineum of each cow was disinfected. One dose of intrauterine perfusion was used for each cow, followed by an additional dose after 72 h. Before administration and 12 h, 18 h, 24 h, 36 h, 42 h, 48 h, 60 h, 66 h, 72 h, 84 h, 90 h, and 96 h after the last dose, milk (10 mL) was gathered from each cow’s teat and pooled. For the measurement of cefquinome concentrations in milk, UPLC-MS/MS was performed. A calibration curve was generated using linear regression as follows: Y = 250.86X − 102.29, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9996; the limits of detection and the limits of quantitation were 0.1 μg·kg−1 and 0.2 μg·kg−1, respectively. The average recovery of cefquinome was 88.60 ± 16.33% at 0.2 μg·kg−1, 100.95 ± 2.54% at 10 μg·kg−1, and 97.29 ± 1.77% at 50 μg·kg−1. For 5 consecutive days at the three spiking levels, the intra and inter-day relative standard deviations (RSD) were 1.28%–13.73% and 1.81%–18.44%, respectively; the residual amount of cefquinome was less than the maximum residue limit of 20 μg·kg−1, 36 h after administration; and the residual amount was less than the limit of detection (0.1 μg·kg−1) 48 h after administration. The withdrawal time of cefquinome in cow’s milk was 39.8 h, as calculated using WTM1.4 software. In terms of clinical practical use, the withdrawal period of milk was temporarily set at 48 h after the administration of the cefquinome sulfate uterus injection to cows, in accordance with the recommended dose and course.
