The tissue distribution of a long-acting oxytetracycline formulation after intramuscular administration to calves at a dose rate of 20 mg/kg was studied. Oxytetracycline concentrations were determined in lung, bone marrow, mammary gland, uterus, uterine horn, ovary, liver, synovial fluid, joint tissue, kidney, spleen, brain, muscle, fat, urine, bile, saliva, ruminal content and serum. Observed concentrations were higher than the minimal inhibitory concentration for the majority of pathogens in all of the analysed tissues for at least 72 h post-injection. The shortest theoretical permanency time was 1.88 days (in saliva) and the longest was 19.06 days (in kidney). Taking the maximal permitted residue level as 0.1 microgram/g in muscle, 0.3 microgram/g in liver and 0.6 microgram/g in kidney, the calculated withdrawal time was 20 days.

D006207	Half-Life	The time it takes for a substance (drug, radioactive nuclide, or other) to lose half of its pharmacologic, physiologic, or radiologic activity.	Halflife,Half Life,Half-Lifes,Halflifes
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014018	Tissue Distribution	Accumulation of a drug or chemical substance in various organs (including those not relevant to its pharmacologic or therapeutic action). This distribution depends on the blood flow or perfusion rate of the organ, the ability of the drug to penetrate organ membranes, tissue specificity, protein binding. The distribution is usually expressed as tissue to plasma ratios.	Distribution, Tissue,Distributions, Tissue,Tissue Distributions
