Abstract
Antimicrobials used in poultry production have the potential to
bioaccumulate in poultry feathers but available data are scarce. Although feathers
were processed and introduced as a protein source in animal feed, withdrawal periods
were not established. Hence, an experimental trial was conducted to evaluate the
residuol profile of enrofloxacin and its primary metabolite ciprofloxacin in feather
of broiler chicken. Thirty six one-day old broiler chicks were randomly divided into
control (6 nos) and treatment group (30 nos).
