Abstract

Background and Aim: Enrofloxacin and tylosin can be combined into an antibiotic formulation which is expected to have a broader range of antibacterial activity against various infections in broilers. Validation method analysis of the levels of these two active compounds needs to be done for future use in pharmacokinetic or residual studies. The present study aims to determine a suitable validation method of isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to measure the concentration of antibiotic combinations in the broiler liver, kidney, and muscles.

Materials and Methods: The combination of enrofloxacin and tylosin in the liver, kidney, and muscle was validated by HPLC method to find the procedures, processes, equipment, and systems used, consistently provides the appropriate results. The chromatography system consisted of an Octadecyl-silica column of 5 μm in diameter and 150 mm in length with a mobile phase of a mixture of 0.05 M monobasic sodium phosphate (pH 2.5) and acetonitrile (65:35 v/v). The solution was detected at a wavelength of 280 nm, 30°C, a flow rate of 1 mL/min, and an injection volume of 20 μL. The combination antibiotics powder was produced from PT Tekad Mandiri Citra, Bandung, Indonesia, and broiler tissues obtained from day-old chick broilers maintained for 30 days with free antibiotic feed.

Results: Validation of a combination solution of enrofloxacin and tylosin shows the linearity values of enrofloxacin and tylosin in the liver, kidney, and muscles as r2=0.9988, r2=0.9999, r2=0.9997, r2=0.9989, r2=0.9978, and r2=0.9962. The accuracy and precision values of enrofloxacin in the liver, kidney, and muscles were 5.53, 6.23, and 6.93, respectively. The values of accuracy and precision of tylosin in the liver, kidney, and muscles were 10.43, 4.63, and 7.16%, respectively. The retention times for enrofloxacin and tylosin were 1.945-2.000 min and 4.175-4.342 min. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantity (LOQ) values for enrofloxacin were 3.03 and 10.1 μg/g, respectively. In contrast, the LOD and LOQ values for tylosin were 9.05 and 30.17 μg/g, respectively.

Conclusion: The value of linearity, accuracy, precision, specificity, and sensitivity of the combined solution of enrofloxacin and tylosin showed promising results.
