1. The aim of this study was to develop a suitable method for the analysis of florfenicol (FF) and its metabolite florfenicol amine (FFA) in chicken eggs and to determine FF and FFA residue depletion in eggs of laying hens. 2. The analytes were extracted from yolk, albumen and whole egg by phosphate buffer and ethyl acetate. Following purification, samples were analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography. 3. Fifty laying hens were divided into 5 groups, and each hen received doses of 20 mg/kg FF: Group 1 (received a single oral dose by gavage); Group 2 (a single intramuscular dose); Group 3 (a single subcutaneous dose); Group 4 (multiple oral doses for 3 d) and Group 5 (multiple oral doses for 5 d). 4. Limits of detection and of quantitation values were 1.94 and 6.45 g/10(9) g (ppb) for FF, respectively, and 0.48 and 1.58 ppb for FFA, respectively. Relative standard deviation values of intra-day and inter-day variation below 11% also confirmed the usefulness of the method for analysing FF and FFA in eggs. 5. From the first day of both oral and parenteral administration, FF and FFA were detected at 0.1% and 0.08% of dosage, respectively, and 57% of the drugs were eliminated from the egg yolk. Elimination time of FF was 8 d in Groups 1, 2 and 3; 9 d in Group 4 and 10 d in Group 5.

Amphenicol antibiotics, such as chloramphenicol (CHL), thiamphenicol (TAP), and florfenicol (Ff), are high-risk emerging pollutants. Their extensive usage in aquaculture, livestock, and poultry farming has led to an increase in bacterial antibiotic resistance and facilitated the spread of resistance genes. Yet, limited research has been conducted on the co-resistance of CHL, TAP, and Ff.

Article Synopsis
- - Water temperature significantly affects fish metabolism, and this study focused on how tilapia metabolize the antibiotic florfenicol (FF) at temperatures typical for tropical and subtropical regions.
- - Tilapia were given a daily dose of 10 mg/kg of FF for 10 days, with tissue samples taken during and after treatment to analyze concentrations of FF and its metabolites using a validated laboratory method.
- - The findings showed that FF concentration was highest in the kidney, while the primary metabolite, florfenicol alcohol (FFOH), was most prevalent in the liver and fillet, highlighting the efficient absorption and elimination of FF in tilapia raised in warm water.

Florfenicol is a broad-spectrum and bacteriostatic antibiotic with a time-dependent killing action. It is commonly used to treat respiratory diseases in goats in an extra-label manner. This study aimed to determine the plasma pharmacokinetics and milk residue depletion profiles and calculate the milk withdrawal interval (WDI) of florfenicol and its main metabolite florfenicol amine in lactating goats.

The aim of this study was to determine pharmacokinetics of florfenicol and its metabolite florfenicol amine after a single (30 mg/kg) intravenous (IV) and oral administration of florfenicol in chukar partridges. It also aimed to investigate tissue residue and withdrawal time of florfenicol after multiple-dose (30 mg/kg, every 24 h for 5 days) oral administration. The research was carried out in two stages: pharmacokinetics and residue.

This study concerns the synthesis of the florfenicol (FF) metabolites florfenicol amine (FFA), florfenicol alcohol (FFOH), and monochloroflorfenicol (FFCl), for their subsequent use as reference standards in On-line solid-phase extraction-ultra high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (SPE-UHPLC-MS/MS) analysis. The metabolites were characterized using H and C NMR, as well as HRMS, and their purities were confirmed by quantitative NMR to ensure analytical reliability. Validation of the developed analytical method showed that it presented acceptable performance, with linearity >0.
