Abstract

The residue oxytetracycline (OTC) in eggs of laying hens can be determined through a microbiological method of diffusion in agar after oral therapy with an esophageal probe with a dose (100 mg / kg for 5 days). The sensitivity of the method is evaluated to 0.08 µg / g in albumen and 0.27 µg / g yolk. The duration of the elimination of OTC in the albumen and yolk is respectively equivalent to 6 and 7 days after stopping treatment.
