Summary: | This study aimed to determine the bioavailability, tissue residue and withdrawal time of doxycycline after oral administration in Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica). Japanese quails received doxycycline at 20 mg/kg dose following either single intravenous or oral administration, or 5-day oral administration. Doxycycline concentrations in plasma, liver, kidney, muscle, and skin + fat were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet. The Withdrawal Time v1.4 software was used to calculate withdrawal times. Following single oral administration, terminal elimination half-life, area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to infinitive time, peak plasma concentration (C
max
) and time to reach C
max
were 10.98 h, 215.84 (h*µg)/mL, 15.33 μg/mL, and 2 h, respectively. The oral bioavailability was 25.84% in quails. In this study, the mean doxycycline concentration was below the maximum residue limit (MRL) at day 4 in skin + fat (0.120 µg/g), and at day 5 in kidney (0.41 µg/g), liver (0.26 µg/g), and muscle ( |
