Press Release: Rapid, Accurate Chlortetracycline Concentration Testing in Type B and C Medicated Feeds with Eurofins New Testing Methodology

January 2024
In the face of growing concerns surrounding tolerance and resistance, the use of antibiotics in agriculture, specifically in medicated livestock feeds, remains a pivotal aspect of the industry. With the widespread application of chlortetracycline (CTC) and its related compounds, the risk of tetracycline resistance and the emergence of tetracycline-resistant bacteria in animal husbandry underscores the necessity for vigilant monitoring.
Eurofins SF Analytical Laboratories, Inc. Animal Health Testing takes pride in unveiling a groundbreaking achievement – a rapid and cost-effective analytical method designed for the determination of chlortetracycline (CTC), a key Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) in livestock animal feed within the meat production sector.
Our state-of-the-art high-sensitivity LC-MS/MS methods not only ensure speed and cost efficiency but also possess the capability to discern between target compounds and potential interferences in both medicated and non-medicated feed formulas.
Key Advancements:
- Rapid and cost-effective determination of chlortetracycline (CTC) concentrations.
- High-sensitivity LC-MS/MS methods capable of distinguishing target compounds from potential interferences.
- Applicable to both medicated and non-medicated feed formulas.
