AI Article Synopsis

  • The study compared four pretreatment methods for analyzing diclazuril and toltrazuril residues in chicken tissues, finding that all methods achieved an average recovery of 70%.
  • The matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) method was highlighted for its efficiency, saving over 60% in time and solvent compared to other methods.
  • An MSPD-high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (MSPD-HPLC/UV) was established, demonstrating good recovery rates (71.13% - 84.02%) and low detection limits (less than 10 microg/kg) for both chemicals, confirming the method's accuracy and precision for residue analysis.

Article Abstract

The effects of four pretreatment methods (acetonitrile extraction-evaporation concentration, acetonitrile extraction-solid phase extraction (SPE), matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) extraction and MSPD-SPE) for the simultaneous analysis of diclazuril and toltrazuril residues in chicken tissues were compared. The average recovery of 70% for the former three methods as achieved. In comparison with other methods, the MSPD method saved more than 60% in time and solvent. So, MSPD as the sample pretreatment method, an MSPD-high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (MSPD-HPLC/UV) method was established for the analysis. Under the optimal chromatographic conditions, the linear range was between 50 and 1,000 microg/kg. At the added levels of 50, 500, 1,000 ng/g, the recoveries of diclazuril and toltrazuril in chicken tissues ranged from 71.13% - 84.02% with the relative standard deviations (RSD) in the range of 3.76% - 12.11%, and the RSDs of intra- and interday analyses ranged from 3.70% - 6.77%. The detection limits of diclazuril and toltrazuril were less than 10 microg/kg. The quantitative limits of diclazuril and toltrazuril were less than 20 microg/kg. The method meet the requirements of the residue analysis on accuracy and precision.

Chicken coccidiosis causes retarded growth and low production performance in poultry, resulting in huge economic losses to the poultry industry. In order to prevent and control chicken coccidiosis, great efforts have been made to develop new drugs and vaccines, which require pure isolates of Eimeria spp. In this study, we obtained the Eimeira tenella Xiantao isolate by single oocyst isolation technology and compared its genome with the reference genome GCF_000499545.

Article Synopsis
  • Nicarbazin (NICA), diclazuril (DIZ), and toltrazuril (TOZ) are key drugs used to prevent and treat coccidiosis in poultry, but monitoring is crucial to avoid drug resistance and human toxicity.* -
  • A new liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed to reliably measure these drugs and their metabolites in chicken muscle and eggs, using specific extraction and clean-up techniques.* -
  • The method demonstrated high sensitivity, with detection limits as low as 0.1 μg/kg for DIZ and NICA, achieving strong recoveries and precision, indicating its effectiveness for quality control in food safety.*

Intestinal coccidiosis is a common parasitic disease in livestock, caused by the infection of and parasites, which results in great economic losses to animal husbandry. Triazine compounds, such as toltrazuril and diclazuril, are widely used in the treatment and chemoprophylaxis of coccidiosis. Unfortunately, widespread drug resistance has compromised their effectiveness.

Intestinal coccidiosis caused by Eimeria protozoan species is an economically important disease, especially in poultry and cattle. Anti-coccidial drugs commonly used for controlling coccidiosis are toltrazuril (TTZ) and diclazuril (DCZ). In this study, the efficacies of TTZ and DCZ were compared using a murine model, and the effect of these treatments on the induction of acquired resistance was evaluated.

Background: Coccidiosis is a poultry disease that occurs worldwide and is caused by Eimeria species. The infection is associated with reduced feed efficiency, body weight gain, and egg production. This study aimed to investigate the current status of coccidiosis and anticoccidial resistance to anticoccidial drugs used as part of control strategies for this disease in Korean chicken farms.
