Abstract In Egypt, many antibiotics have been investigated for different pharmacological effects. Stability studies are lacking. In the present investigation, the stability of oxytetracycline, enrofloxacin, and sulphadimidine was studied in vitro and in vivo. The effects of time, temperature, pH, and different regions, s water on the process of the stability were checked. The study included also the determination of chlorine percentage and electrolytes percentage in drinking tap water and underground water respectively. By the passage of time, the stability of the drugs used decreased. As the temperature of the principal farm container increased, the drugs stability decreased. Regarding the drugs pH, tetracyclines activity increased in acidic pH, whereas fluoroquinolones, and sulphonamides increased in alkaline pH. In vivo, sulphadimidine was more effective. It saved 70 % of the tested chicken against E. coli artificial infection. |
