Title:  Leaching, palatability and digestibility of oxytetracycline and oxolinic acid included in diets fed to seabass Dicentrarchus labrax L.
 
Authors:  Rigos G, Alexis M, Nengas I
 
Drug:  Oxytetracycline
 
Fish species:  Seabass, European
 
Date:  1999
 
Sample:  intestinal tract-feces
 
Ave Weight (gm):  350
 
Ave Water temp (°C):  24
 
Water:  Saltwater
 
Dosage:  75 mg/kg 3d
 
Route:  PO
 
Comments:  Drug well digested (85 +/-4.2% at 24 C) but poorly digested at 16 C (59+/-5.1%) (>1/3 drug in feces). Oil coated feeds leached more antimicrobial if topcoated (42.5% loss at 16 and 47% at 24C), vs when mixed in feeds (6.5% at 16, 20% at 24C). Palatability reduced by top coating (consumption 82% reduced to 8% with oil coating).
