Healthy mature roosters (n = 10) were given gentamicin (5 mg/kg of body weight, IV) and, 30 days later, another dose IM. Serum concentrations of gentamicin were determined over 60 hours after each drug dosing, using a radioimmunoassay. Using nonlinear least-square regression methods, the combined data of IV and IM treatments were best fitted by a 2-compartment open model. The mean distribution phase half-life was 0.203 +/- 0.075 hours (mean +/- SD) and the terminal half-life was 3.38 +/- 0.62 hours. The volume of the central compartment was 0.0993 +/- 0.0097 L/kg, volume of distribution at steady state was 0.209 +/- 0.013 L/kg, and the total body clearance was 46.5 +/- 7.9 ml/h/kg. Intramuscular absorption was rapid, with a half-life for absorption of 0.281 +/- 0.081 hours. The extent of im absorption was 95 +/- 18%. Maximal serum concentration of 20.68 +/- 2.10 microgram/ml was detected at 0.62 +/- 0.18 hours after the dose. Kinetic calculations predicted that IM injection of gentamicin at a dosage of 4 mg/kg, q 12 h, and 1.5 mg/kg, q 8 h, would provide average steady-state serum concentrations of 6.82 and 3.83 microgram/ml, with minimal steady-state serum concentrations of 1.54 and 1.50 microgram/ml and maximal steady-state serum concentrations of 18.34 and 7.70 microgram/ml, respectively.
