Veterinary world 2024 MayLincomycin is an antibiotic used in broiler farming and is commonly combined with other substances to achieve synergistic and complementary effects on the antibacterial spectrum and mechanism. We developed a specific high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method to measure lincomycin levels in broiler tissues. This study aimed to determine the lincomycin level in tissues and compare it with the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and maximum residue limit (MRL) of certain pathogenic bacteria. Three groups of broiler chickens were involved in the study (n = 20 in each group): A control group without lincomycin treatment and two groups (each further divided into two sub-groups) that received oral lincomycin at a dose of 1 g/10 kg of body weight daily for 7 and 14 consecutive days. Tissue samples were collected from each group 1 day and 1 week after lincomycin administration (ALA). This study validated the development of a technique for analyzing drug level degradation in tissues using HPLC. Descriptive and statistical analyses were performed for drug levels to assess their therapeutic value and safety based on lincomycin MIC of certain pathogenic bacteria and MRL. The method validation resulted in linear regression and coefficient of determination for tissues with r2 > 0.99, with a recovery rate of 90%-110%, precision as the coefficient of variation 15%, and specificity with no peak overlap for lincomycin. The limits of detection for the liver and kidney were 0.01 μg/g, 0.05 μg/g, and 0.1 μg/g for the breast muscle and all tissues. Administration of lincomycin for 7 and 14 days resulted in therapeutic value concentrations. Lincomycin levels in the liver and kidney of ALA exceeded the MRL, whereas breast muscles were below the MRL for a week of ALA treatment. Administration of lincomycin for 7 and 14 consecutive days resulted in therapeutic value; however, after a week, most tissues showed high drug concentrations that exceeded the MRL. It is necessary to carefully consider the prolonged therapeutic dose of lincomycin in broilers. Antibiotic therapy must be guided in such a way as to protect the product from harmful residues.
