Effect of injection site on the bioavailability of an oxytetracycline formulation in ruminant calves

The oxytetracycline (OTC) disposition was studied in a group of six calves following the administration of an oxytetracycline‐10 per cent formulation (i) intravenously (i.v.), (ii) subcutaneously (s. c.) in the lateral neck, and intramuscularly (i. m.) in (iii) the lateral neck, (iv) the shoulder (M. triceps brachii), and (v) the buttock (M. semitendineus). The dose levels used for the intravenous route and other routes were respectively 17.0 ± 2.3 and 18.3 ± 1.25 mg OTC/kg. The peak OTC concentrations (Cmax) were achieved with the s. c. and i. m. routes between 4 and 8 hours after injection, the highest being found after application in the shoulder (Cmax:6.9 ± 0.82 μg/ml plasma). The Cmax for the s.c. and other i.m. routes of application was similar to each other, ranging from 5.0 to 5.5 μg/ml plasma. For different points in time after injection the partial bioavailability was calculated. At 52 h post injection (p.i.) maximal bioavailability was observed for the i.m. shoulder route, viz. 98.1 ± 7.0 per cent of the administered dose, while at 76 h p.i. similar bioavailabilities were achieved for the i.m. neck and shoulder route, namely 93.3 ± 8.9 and 99.4 ± 4.2 per cent, respectively. The lowest bioavailability (83.1 ± 13.4 per cent) was obtained following the i.m. buttock route at 76 p.i.

An obvious irritating effect was observed after s.c. application in the neck an di.m. injection in the buttock, which had disappeared at 5 days p.i. It is assumed that the longer persistence of OTC in plasma resulting with the latter two routes of administration was due to this irritation effect.     

植酸酶和柠檬酸对肉鸡生产性能及钙、磷利用率的影响

植物籽实及谷物中60%～80%的磷以植酸磷的形式存在。家禽消化道缺乏水解植酸的酶对植酸磷的利用率很低。业已证明,添加植酸酶可提高植酸磷、Ca、蛋白质等养分的利用,减少粪磷对环境的污染。肉鸡日粮中添加450U/kg的植酸酶,可将日粮的CP水平降低一个百分点而不影响生长性能、胴体品质和AA的消化率,同时可使氮排出量减少10%(Kemme等,1995)。磷消化试验和长期饲养试验的结果表明,300FTU/kg的植酸酶相当于磷酸一钙中的1.0g磷。肉鸡日粮中添加300FTU/kg植酸酶,日粮磷(无论是TP或AP)含量应降低0.1%,Ca水平应减低0.1个百分点。近年来的研究…     

柠檬酸残渣饲喂肉仔鸡的试验

选取1500只1日龄AA肉仔鸡，随机分成5组，研究饲料中添加柠檬酸残渣对肉仔鸡生产性能的影响。结果表明：日粮柠檬酸残渣含量为8％和16％时，肉仔鸡的生产性能不受影响（P＞0．05），说明柠檬酸残渣可部分替代豆饼提供肉仔鸡氮源以用于生长；但当日粮柠檬酸残渣含量为24％和32％时，肉仔鸡生长性能有所降低，说明日粮柠檬酸残渣过高，可能会引起营养失衡，影响肉仔鸡生长。

Pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of cefquinome in healthy piglets

A study on bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of cefquinome in piglets was conducted after intravenous (i.v.) and intramuscular (i.m.) administrations of 2.0 mg/kg of body weight, respectively. Plasma concentrations were measured by high‐performance liquid chromatography assay with UV detector at 268‐nm wavelength. Plasma concentration–time data after i.v. administration were best fit by a two‐compartment model. The pharmacokinetic values were distribution half‐life 0.27 ± 0.21 h, elimination half‐life 1.85 ± 1.11 h, total body clearance 0.26 ± 0.08 L/kg·h, area under curve 8.07 ± 1.91 μg·h/mL and volume of distribution at steady state 0.46 ± 0.10 L/kg. Plasma concentration–time data after i.m. administration were also best fit by a two‐compartment model. The pharmacokinetic parameters were distribution half‐life 0.88 ± 0.42 h, elimination half‐life 4.36 ± 2.35 h, peak concentration 4.01 ± 0.57 μg/mL and bioavailability 95.13 ± 9.93%.     

柠檬酸对肉仔鸡屠宰性能的影响

试验选择180只1日龄健康AA+肉仔鸡,按日粮中柠檬酸添加剂量的不同(0%、0.75%、1.5%)分为3个日粮处理组,每个处理组6个重复,每个重复10只鸡,进行为期42d的饲养试验,旨在研究日粮中添加不同梯度的柠檬酸对肉仔鸡屠宰性能的影响。试验结果表明:添加0.75%柠檬酸可显著提高21日龄肉仔鸡的屠宰率(P0.05),极显著提高腿肌率(P0.01),胸肌率和全净膛率却显著降低于对照组(P0.05);添加1.5%柠檬酸可使21日龄肉仔鸡的全净膛率显著降低(P0.05),对其他屠宰性能指标无显著影响。     

Disodium-fosfomycin pharmacokinetics and bioavailability in post weaning piglets

Disodium-fosfomycin pharmacokinetics has been studied in different species after oral, intravenous, intramuscular and subcutaneous administration. At present there are neither documented clinical experiences of the use of fosfomycin in pigs nor any published studies in weaning piglets, although it is a period of high incidence of infectious diseases. The pharmacokinetics and the bioavailability of sodium fosfomycin were studied in post weaning piglets after intravenous and intramuscular administration of 15 mg/kg of body weight. Plasma concentrations were measured by a high-performance liquid ms/ms. After IV administration the area under the fosfomycin concentration:time curve in plasma was AUC_(0–12) of 120.00 ± 23.12 μg h/ml and the volume of distribution (Vd) of 273.00 ± 40.70 ml/kg. The elimination was rapid with a plasma clearance of 131.50 ± 30.07 ml/kg/h and a T_1/2 of 1.54 ± 0.40 h. Peak serum concentration (C_max), T_max, AUC_(0–12) and bioavailability for the IM administration were 43.00 ± 4.10 μg/ml, 0.75 ± 0.00 h, 99.00 ± 0.70 μg h/ml and 85.5 ± 9.90% respectively. Different authors have determined a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC₉₀) ranging from 0.25 μg/ml for Streptococcus sp. and 0.5 μg/ml for Escherichia coli. Considering the above, and according to the values of plasma concentration vs time profiles observed in this study, effective plasma concentrations of fosfomycin for sensitive bacteria can be obtained following IV and IM administration of 15 mg/kg in piglets.

Effect of dietary citric acid on the performance and mineral metabolism of broiler

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary citric acid (CA) on the performance and mineral metabolism of broiler chicks. A total of 1720 Ross PM3 broiler chicks (days old) were randomly assigned to four groups (430 in each) and reared for a period of 35 days. The diets of groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 were supplemented with 0%, 0.25%, 0.75% or 1.25% CA by weight respectively. Feed and faeces samples were collected weekly and analysed for acid insoluble ash, calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and magnesium (Mg). The pH was measured in feed and faeces. At the age of 28 days, 10 birds from each group were slaughtered; tibiae were collected from each bird for the determination of bone mineral density, total ash, Ca, P, Mg and bone‐breaking strength, and blood was collected for the measurement of osteocalcin, serum CrossLaps^®, Ca, P, Mg and 1,25(OH)₂Vit‐D in serum. After finishing the trial on day 37, all chicks were slaughtered by using the approved procedure. Birds that were fed CA diets were heavier (average body weights of 2030, 2079 and 2086 g in the 0.25%, 0.75% and 1.25% CA groups, respectively, relative to the control birds (1986 g). Feed conversion efficiency (weight gain in g per kg of feed intake) was also higher in birds of the CA‐fed groups (582, 595 and 587 g/kg feed intake for 0.25%, 0.75% and 1.25% CA respectively), relative to the control birds (565 g/kg feed intake). The digestibility of Ca, P and Mg increased in the CA‐fed groups, especially for the diets supplemented with 0.25% and 0.75% CA. Support for finding was also indicated in the results of the analysis of the tibia. At slaughter, the birds had higher carcass weights and higher graded carcasses in the groups that were fed the CA diets. The estimated profit margin was highest for birds fed the diet containing 0.25% CA. Birds of the 0.75% CA group were found to have the second highest estimated profit margin. Addition of CA up to a level of 1.25% of the diet increased performance, feed conversion efficiency, carcass weight and carcass quality, but only in numerical terms. The addition of CA up to 0.75% significantly increased the digestibility of macro minerals, bone ash content, bone mineral density and bone strength of the broiler chicks. It may, therefore, be concluded that the addition of 0.75% CA in a standard diet is suitable for growth, carcass traits, macromineral digestibility and bone mineral density of broiler chicks.

Investigations on iron bioavailability of different sources and supply levels in piglets

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the iron bioavailability of different sources and supply levels in piglets. In experiment 1, the influence of feeding an iron deficient basal diet or the basal diet supplemented with 28 ppm Fe either in form of Fe-chelate, crystalline Fe-glycinate, or Fe-sulphate on apparent iron digestibility and on blood parameters was determined. In experiment 2, a dose-response approach was used to determine the effects of supplementing an iron-deficient basal diet with 30, 60, or 90 ppm of Fe either in form of crystalline Fe-glycinate or Fe-sulphate on digestibility of Fe, growth and blood parameters. In experiment 1, comparison of iron sources revealed a tendency (0.05 < p < 0.1) for a higher Fe digestibility from Fe-glycinate (40.9%) compared with Fe-chelate (30.8%) or Fe-sulphate (30.7%). Fe-balance was higher (p < 0.05) for Fe-glycinate compared with Fe-sulphate but iron balance was similar for iron sulphate and iron chelate. Those results, however, were not reflected in data of blood parameters. In experiment 2, iron digestibility, blood parameters and performance were significantly (p < 0.05) influenced by iron supply. Effects of iron source on digestibility of iron were lower than observed in the first experiment.     

Pharmacokinetics and renal clearance of oxytetracycline in piglets following intravenous and oral administration

The pharmacokinetics of oxytetracycline (OTC) in three weaned piglets was studied following three routes of administration: intravenously, orally as drench, both at a dose of 20 mg/kg, and orally as medicated (400 ppm OTC) pelleted feed administered during 3 consecutive days. Analysis of the intravenous data according to the three compartment pharmacokinetic model revealed that OTC was well distributed in the body (Vf: 1.62 l/kg), had an overall body clearance of 0.25 litre/kg/h, and the elimination half-lives were in the range between 11.6 and 17.2 hrs. The mean OTC binding to plasma proteins was 75.5 +/- 4%. Following the drench route of administration the maximum plasma OTC concentration was achieved between 1 and 5 h post application and ranged between 1.18 and 1.41 micrograms/ml. The mean maximum plasma OTC concentration during medicated feed administration was 0.20 +/- 0.06 microgram/ml, which was achieved approximately 30 hours after the onset of the administration. A steady state OTC plasma level (approximately 0.2 microgram/ml) was maintained till the end of the trial. Within 48 hours after cessation of medicated feed administration the plasma OTC levels were beneath 0.06 microgram/ml. The mean OTC bioavailabilities of the oral routes were low: after the drench route of administration 9.0 +/- 0.67%, and after medicated pelleted feed administration 3.69 +/- 0.8%. The mean OTC renal clearances of each piglet ranged between 10.1 and 13.9 ml/min/kg (based on free OTC plasma fractions). The renal OTC clearance values were urine flow dependent in all piglets and significantly correlated with the renal creatinine clearance (P less than 0.005), being 3-5 times higher than the latter. It is concluded that in piglets OTC is excreted mainly by glomerular filtration and partly by tubular secretion. The potential clinical efficacy of 400 ppm OTC as medicated feed with respect to treatment, e.g. atrophic rhinitis, is discussed.     

Pharmacokinetics and renal clearance of oxytetracycline in piglets following intravenous and oral administration

Summary

The pharmacokinetics of oxytetracycline (OTC) in three weaned piglets was studied following three routes of administration: intravenously, orally as drench, both at a dose of 20 mg/kg, and orally as medicated (400 ppm OTC) pelleted feed administered during 3 consecutive days. Analysis of the intravenous data according to the three compartment pharmacokinetic model revealed that OTC was well distributed in the body (Vie 1.621/kg), had an overall body clearance of 0.25 litre/kg/h, and the elimination half‐lives were in the range between 11.6 and 17.2 hrs.

The mean OTC binding to plasma proteins was 75.5 ± 4%. Following the drench route of administration the maximum plasma OTC concentration was achieved between 1 and 5 h post application and ranged between 1.18 and 1.41 μg/ml. The mean maximum plasma OTC concentration during medicated feed administration was 0.20 ± 0.06 μg/ml, which was achieved approximately 30 hours after the onset of the administration. A steady state OTC plasma level (approximately 0.2 μg/ml) was maintained till the end of the trial. Within 48 hours after cessation of medicated feed administration the plasma OTC levels were beneath 0.06 μg/ml. The mean OTC bioavailabilities of the oral routes were low: after the drench route of administration 9.0 ± 0.67%, and after medicated pelleted feed administration 3.69 ± 0.8%.

The mean OTC renal clearances of each piglet ranged between 10.1 and 13.9 ml/min/kg (based on free OTC plasma fractions). The renal OTC clearance values were urine flow dependent in all piglets and significantly correlated with the renal creatinine clearance (P< 0.005), being 3–5 times higher than the latter. It is concluded that in piglets OTC is excreted mainly by glomerular filtration and partly by tubular secretion. The potential clinical efficacy of 400 ppm OTC as medicated feed with respect to treatment, e.g. atrophic rhinitis, is discussed.

柠檬酸对小鼠精子特性和睾丸组织形态结构的影响

60只雄性小鼠随机分为4组,每天分别腹腔注射0.2mL的0.9%生理盐水或7.5、15、30g/L CA,于14、21d测定曲细精管精子的生成及附睾内精子特性的相关数据。结果显示,随柠檬酸处理剂量的增加精子的生成数减少。14d时,对照组与15、30g/L CA组间、7.5、30g/L CA组间曲细精管内精子的生成差异显著（P〈0.05）;21d时,对照组与柠檬酸处理组间及7.5、15g/L CA与30g/L CA处理组间曲细精管内精子的生成有显著差异（P〈0.05）。柠檬酸对附睾精子品质的影响表现为：对照组与柠檬酸处理组间及柠檬酸处理组间精子密度和活动率差异均显著（P〈0.05）;对照组和15、30g/L CA处理组及15g/L CA与30g/L CA处理组间精子活力差异显著（P〈0.05）;精子的畸形率随柠檬酸浓度的增加而增加,15g/L CA处理组精子畸形率显著高于对照组（P〈0.05）,30g/LCA处理组显著高于对照组和7.5g/L CA（P〈0.05）处理组。组织形态学观察结果表明柠檬酸能破坏睾丸正常组织形态结构。柠檬酸高剂量组的生精小管内生精细胞排列疏松、紊乱,生精细胞间出现空隙;生精小管中的生精细胞脱落或退化,精原细胞、精母细胞和精子数量明显减少。研究表明,外源柠檬酸雄性小鼠具有显著的生殖遗传毒性。     

Effect of dietary phytic acid on performance and nutrient uptake in the small intestine of piglets

An experiment was conducted with piglets to determine the effect of dietary phytic acid supplementation on performance, electrophysiological properties of jejunum mounted in Ussing chambers, sodium-dependent glucose transporter 1 (SGLT1) protein expression in jejunum, and plasma glucose and Na concentrations. Sixteen piglets with an average initial BW of 7.40 ± 0.36 kg were randomly assigned to 2 experimental diets with 8 piglets per diet. The diets were casein-cornstarch-based and were either unsupplemented or supplemented with 2% phytic acid (as Na phytate). The basal diet was formulated to meet the recommendation of NRC (1998) for energy, AA, minerals, and vitamins for piglets. The experiment lasted for 21 d, and at the end, BW gain and feed consumption were determined, and blood samples were collected for determination of plasma glucose and Na concentrations. The piglets were then euthanized to determine jejunal electrophysiological properties (transmural potential difference and short-circuit current) and SGLT1 protein expression. Phytic acid supplementation reduced ADG (P = 0.002), ADFI (P = 0.017), and G:F (P = 0.001) from 316.1 to 198.2 g, 437.4 to 360.3 g, and 0.721 to 0.539 g/g, respectively. Phytic acid supplementation also tended to reduce (P = 0.088) potential difference (-3.80 vs. -2.23 mV) and reduced (P = 0.023) short-circuit current from 8.07 to 0.1 μA/cm(2). However, phytic acid supplementation did not affect SGLT1 protein, and blood plasma glucose and Na concentrations. In conclusion, dietary phytic acid reduced growth performance and transmural short-circuit current in the jejunum of piglets. The reduced transmural short-circuit current in the jejunum by phytic acid implies reduced active Na transport in the jejunum by the phytic acid. Therefore, it seems that dietary phytic acid reduces growth performance of pigs partly through reduced capacity of the small intestine to absorb Na.
