The purpose of this research was to evaluate the persistence of penicillin G and dihydrostreptomycin in milk of lactating buffaloes following intramuscular injection of procaine penicillin G (200000 IU/mL) and dihydrostreptomycin sulfate (250 mg/mL) every 24 h for 3 days. Milk samples were collected twice daily up to the 13th milking post-treatment and analyzed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. The analytical method has been validated according to Commission Decision 2002/657/EC. The highest concentrations of penicillin G (275 μg kg−1) and dihydrostreptomycin (220.5 μg kg−1 ) were detected in the milk of the first milkings post-treatment, and levels were below the maximum residue limit of 4 and 200 μg kg−1 in all treated buffaloes at milkings 12 and 2, respectively. The results of this study demonstrate that a nine-milking withdrawal time set for bovine milk was not adequate for depletion of penicillin G in lactating buffaloes.

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the persistence of penicillin G and dihydrostreptomycin in milk of lactating buffaloes following intramuscular injection of procaine penicillin G (200000 IU/mL) and dihydrostreptomycin sulfate (250 mg/mL) every 24 h for 3 days. Milk samples were collected twice daily up to the 13th milking post-treatment and analyzed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. The analytical method has been validated according to Commission Decision 2002/657/EC. The highest concentrations of penicillin G (275 μg kg−1) and dihydrostreptomycin (220.5 μg kg−1 ) were detected in the milk of the first milkings post-treatment, and levels were below the maximum residue limit of 4 and 200 μg kg−1 in all treated buffaloes at milkings 12 and 2, respectively. The results of this study demonstrate that a nine-milking withdrawal time set for bovine milk was not adequate for depletion of penicillin G in lactating buffaloes.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
