Tissue specimens from muscle, liver, kidney, and injection sites were collected, and serum was obtained from 3 calves euthanatized on each of posttreatment days 5 and 22. Calves were treated with 6.7, 13.4, or 20 mg of oxytetracycline (OTC)/kg of body weight, IM, once daily for 3 days; these dosages are 1, 2, and 3 times the label dose, respectively. One control calf was euthanatized on each of posttreatment days 5 and 22. In treated male calves killed 2 days after the last injection, OTC residues were detected in all tissues and serum, using high-performance liquid chromatography. Tissues from all injection sites also were considered positive for antimicrobial residues, using swab test on premises (STOP), microbial inhibition test (MIT), and thin-layer chromatography-biautography (TLCB) test. Kidney tissues from a calf given 13.4 mg of OTC/kg and kidney and liver tissues from a calf given 20 mg of OTC/kg also were considered positive, using the MIT and TLCB. Results of the STOP only were considered positive for the liver and kidney of a calf given 20 mg of OTC/kg, but substitution of Saskatoon antibiotic medium-3 for the original medium (antibiotic medium-5) allowed the STOP to detect residues in these tissues from all treated calves. In female calves killed 19 days after the last injection, the STOP, MIT, and TLCB procedures revealed positive results for tissues from some injection sites, but revealed negative results for other tissues. High-performance liquid chromatographic analyses detected OTC in tissues from injection sites from all treated calves, in muscle and liver from a calf given 20 mg of OTC/kg, and in kidneys from calves given 13.4 or 20 mg of OTC/kg. The STOP, MIT, and TLCB procedures lacked the sensitivity of high-performance liquid chromatography for detection of OTC residues.
