The influence of the site of drug administration on florfenicol pharmacokinetics in turkeys

ABSTRACT: Florfenicol is a broad-spectrum antibacterial drug used in the treatment of farm animals, including poultry. This drug is poorly soluble in water, therefore, administration in drinking water may lead to high variability of concentrations in treated individuals. The use of injection prepara...
