Abstract
A new approach to extracting substances from a spot on a chromatographic plate for subsequent liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis is described. This method involves extraction in a solid phase (an adsorbent layer of a chromatographic plate) - a liquid system using a simple device. For a single extraction of six selected coccidiostats from the adsorbent layer on the chromatographic plate with silica gel, 50 µL of methanol was used for 5 min. The data from the extraction experiments and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry measurements demonstrated a good correlation between the ratio of the peak areas of the coccidiostats to the internal standard and the concentration of the substances in the range of two orders of magnitude. The coefficients of determination for the mentioned correlations range from 0.962 to 0.999. Moreover, the repeatability and reproducibility, expressed as the percentage values of relative standard deviation, do not exceed 7.5 % for any of the coccidiostats.

Abstract
The combination of ionophoric coccidiostats and amino acids (AAs) is important in poultry feeding to enhance immunity and improve the growth and feed efficiency of birds suffering from coccidiosis. A simple, rapid, and economical high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV) method for the simultaneous determination of three ionophoric coccidiostats, namely salinomycin (SAL), maduramicin (MAD), and monensin (MON) in addition to three AAs; L-tryptophan (L-TRP), alpha-ketoleucin (KLEU), and L-valine (L-VAL) in feed premixes was developed and validated. Chromatographic separation was achieved in less than 12 min using a phenyl hexyl column with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile/methanol/water (25:20:55, v/v/v) adjusted to pH 3 using phosphoric acid. Isocratic elution was performed at a flow rate of 1 mL/min with UV detection at 210 nm. The method showed good linearity in the ranges 0.50-5.0 mg/mL for MON, 0.20-2.0 mg/mL for MAD and SAL, 10.0-100.0 μg/mL for L-TRP and KLEU, and 50.0-500.0 μg/mL for VAL. The developed method was successfully applied to determine the studied analytes in feed premixes with good recoveries and precision. The good validation criteria of the proposed method allow its utilization in quality control laboratories.

Abstract
A simple, sensitive, and efficient method based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed for the determination of 8 coccidiostats in chicken feces and environmental water (including sewage, pond water, and lake water) surrounding the farm. Target analytes in chicken feces were extracted with 2% acetic acid in acetonitrile solution, followed by a dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE) cleanup step using the mixture of PSA and C18 adsorbents. Environmental water samples were pretreated using a lyophilization approach. Analysis was carried out on a UPLC-MS/MS with the combination of methanol and 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution as the mobile phase under multiple reaction monitoring in positive and negative ionization modes. Results showed that 8 coccidiostats were linear with correlation coefficients higher than 0.99. Method validation was performed using fortified samples, reaching satisfactory recoveries of 75.9%-97.8% in chicken feces and 71.9%-108.2% in environmental water. Limits of detection for 8 analytes in chicken feces and environmental water were 0.03∼2 µg/kg and 0.005∼1 µg/L, respectively. Matrix effects were calculated and strong signal suppression (>50%) for some coccidiostats was observed. The developed method was successfully applied to analyze coccidiostats in chicken feces and environmental water collected from local chicken farms.

Abstract
In this study, we developed a novel analysis method based on liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) to allow the simultaneous identification of 20 coccidiostats in eight matrix categories, including the muscles of chicken, swine, cow, and fish as well as chicken eggs, bovine milk, and porcine viscera. In the pretreatment procedure, acetonitrile/methanol (95:5, v/v) containing 1% formic acid, 5 g of sodium acetate, and 6.0 g of anhydrous magnesium sulfate was used for extraction, followed by a clean-up procedure using n-hexane saturated with ACN to facilitate the elimination of analytes from high lipid samples. Chromatographic separations were achieved using a Poroshell 120SB C18 column and operated with a gradient mobile phase system consisting of methanol (with 0.1% formic acid) and 5 mM ammonium formate, and the MS detection was monitored simultaneously. The method was validated in accordance with the Guidelines for the Validation of Food Chemical Methods by the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration. The limit of quantitation among 8 matrices were 0.5–2 ng g−1. The proposed method proved highly effective in detecting the presence of targeted veterinary drugs, providing a high degree of precision and accuracy over a broad range of matrices.

Abstract
The World Health Organization has identified antimicrobial resistance as one of the most important threats to global health. Brazil is one of the world's leading meat producers and the Brazilian use of veterinary antimicrobials as therapeutic agents and prophylactic or growth promoters in animal production remains problematic. Many antimicrobials are not completely metabolized and their excretion represents a significant source of environmental exposure. The aim of this work was to estimate the exposure risk of soil and groundwater to pollution by growth promoters (GPs) and anticoccidial additives (AAs) in Brazil by using a method based on a geographical information system (GIS). The principle adopted is that the greater the amount of animals, the greater the quantity of antimicrobials present, and the greater the soil vulnerability to pollution. Our research showed that GPs and AAs are extensively used in the Brazilian animal production system. An analysis of market data showed that zinc bacitracin, monensin, salinomycin, colistin and tylosin are representative GPs and AAs. This study presents a qualitative approach for risk assessment based on worst-case scenarios. First, the probable environmental concentration was estimated using a correlation between the number of heads of the herds of poultry and cattle, and the amounts of drug released. The leaching risk potential was characterized for each compound, as proposed in ISO 15175. The potential of soil pollution was evaluated for each antimicrobial as a function of its binding and dissipation rates. These rates were calculated using georeferenced data of organic carbon, average temperature, water balance and hydro-geological parameters. The consequences were modeled based on Brazilian soil usage. Finally, the risk was calculated by combining the different maps generated using spatial multi-criteria decision analysis. Higher risk was found for the midwest, southeast and south regions of Brazil. Groundwater was found to be more vulnerable than soil.

Abstract
In this study samples of feedstuffs were collected from different feed mills and animal farms located in central Italy and analyzed for ionophore coccidiostat residues at carry-over levels by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Since unavoidable cross-contamination of feedstuffs may occur during their production as well as distribution and storage, the collection of samples covered all these different stages. Residues of lasalocid, monensin, salinomycin and maduramicin were detected in 32.4% of samples, both at production and storage level. The maximum content for unavoidable carry-over set by Regulation (EU) No 574/2011 was exceeded in 11.3% of samples. The variability of the results highlighted the different approach of each investigated feed business operator to avoid any cross-contamination in non-target feed. The method developed in this study can be able to detect ionophore coccidiostats at low concentrations consequent to carry-over.

Abstract
A simple and fast quantitative and confirmatory multi-residue method was developed and validated for the determination of 14 coccidiostats residues in poultry muscle and eggs using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS-MS). The compounds were analyzed in a single run including lasalocid A, maduramicin, monensin, narasin, salinomycin, semduramicin, robenidine, diclazuril, toltrazuril, trimethoprim, clopidol, amprolium, diaveridine and nicarbazin (as the marker residue dinitrocarbanilide). A low-cost extraction and clean up procedure was optimized without the need of solid-phase extraction. Samples were extracted with acetonitrile followed by low-temperature clean up. Chromatographic separation was achieved using a C18 column, using water and acetonitrile, both containing 5mmolL-1 of formic acid and 1mmolL-1 ammonium acetate, as mobile phase. Coccidiostats were ionized in negative and positive mode and monitored simultaneously. The method was fully validated according with Commission Decision 2002/657/EC and was applied for >100 samples from the Brazilian National Residue Control Plan (NRCP). Parameters as precision, reproducibility, trueness, CCα and CCβ were determined. Trueness values were within the range 73-115%. Precision (repeatability and intermediate precision) ranged from 0.4% to 21% and intralaboratory reproducibility ranged from 6.3% to 27%, depending on matrix.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clopidol is mainly used for the prevention and treatment of coccidiosis, which poses a serious potential hazard to public health, in veterinary medicine. The aim of this study was to prepare monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against clopidol (CLOP) and develop an immunoassay for detecting CLOP residues in chicken tissues. After derivation, CLOP hapten was conjugated to carrier proteins to synthesize the artificial antigen, and immunized Balb/C mice were employed to screen mAbs. RESULTS A sensitive hybridoma named C1G3 was screened out and two indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (icELISA) standard curves were established. For the traditional two-step assay the linear range was from 0.06 to 98 ng mL(-1) , with half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50 ) and limit of detection (LOD) values of 2.76 ng mL(-1) and 0.03 ng mL(-1) respectively, while the rapid one-step icELISA had a working range from 0.08 to 102 ng mL(-1) , with IC50 and LOD values of 3.52 ng mL(-1) and 0.03 ng mL(-1) respectively. It was also indicated that a 10-fold dilution in chicken muscles gave an inhibition curve almost the same as that obtained in phosphate-buffered saline. When applied to spiking tests in chicken samples, the correlation coefficient (R(2) ) between concentrations added and measured was 0.9534. CONCLUSION The results of this study suggest that the immunoassay described is a promising alternative for screening CLOP residues in biological matrices and is suitable for routine diagnostics.

Abstract
Roxarsone is an organoarsenic feed additive that can be metabolised to other higher toxic arsenic (As) species in animal manure such as arsenate, arsenite, monomethylarsonic acid, dimethylarsinic acid, 3-amino-4-hydroxyphenylarsonic acid and other unknown As species. The accumulation, transport and distribution of As species in turnip (Brassica rapa L.) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) amended with roxarsone and its metabolites in chicken manure were investigated. Results showed arsenite was the predominant As form, followed by arsenate in turnip and lettuce plants, and a low content of dimethylarsinic acid was detected only in lettuce roots. Compared with the control plants treated with chicken manure without roxarsone and its metabolites, the treatments containing roxarsone and its metabolites increased arsenite content by 2.0-3.2% in turnip shoots, by 6.6-6.7% in lettuce shoots, by 11-44% in turnip tubers and by 18-20% in lettuce roots at two growth stages. The enhanced proportion of arsenate content in turnip shoots, turnip tubers and lettuce roots was 4.3-14%, 20-35% and 70%, respectively, while dimethylarsinic acid content in lettuce roots increased 2.4 times. Results showed that the occurrence of dimethylarsinic acid in lettuce roots might be converted from the inorganic As species and the uptake of both inorganic and organic As compounds in turnip and lettuce plants would be enhanced by roxarsone and its metabolites in chicken manure. The pathway of roxarsone metabolites introduced into the human body via roxarsone → animal → manure → soil → crop was indicated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inorganic arsenic (iAs) causes cancer and possibly other adverse health outcomes. Arsenic-based drugs are permitted in poultry production; however, the contribution of chicken consumption to iAs intake is unknown. OBJECTIVES We sought to characterize the arsenic species profile in chicken meat and estimate bladder and lung cancer risk associated with consuming chicken produced with arsenic-based drugs. METHODS Conventional, antibiotic-free, and organic chicken samples were collected from grocery stores in 10 U.S. metropolitan areas from December 2010 through June 2011. We tested 116 raw and 142 cooked chicken samples for total arsenic, and we determined arsenic species in 65 raw and 78 cooked samples that contained total arsenic at ≥ 10 µg/kg dry weight. RESULTS The geometric mean (GM) of total arsenic in cooked chicken meat samples was 3.0 µg/kg (95% CI: 2.5, 3.6). Among the 78 cooked samples that were speciated, iAs concentrations were higher in conventional samples (GM = 1.8 µg/kg; 95% CI: 1.4, 2.3) than in antibiotic-free (GM = 0.7 µg/kg; 95% CI: 0.5, 1.0) or organic (GM = 0.6 µg/kg; 95% CI: 0.5, 0.8) samples. Roxarsone was detected in 20 of 40 conventional samples, 1 of 13 antibiotic-free samples, and none of the 25 organic samples. iAs concentrations in roxarsone-positive samples (GM = 2.3 µg/kg; 95% CI: 1.7, 3.1) were significantly higher than those in roxarsone-negative samples (GM = 0.8 µg/kg; 95% CI: 0.7, 1.0). Cooking increased iAs and decreased roxarsone concentrations. We estimated that consumers of conventional chicken would ingest an additional 0.11 µg/day iAs (in an 82-g serving) compared with consumers of organic chicken. Assuming lifetime exposure and a proposed cancer slope factor of 25.7 per milligram per kilogram of body weight per day, this increase in arsenic exposure could result in 3.7 additional lifetime bladder and lung cancer cases per 100,000 exposed persons. CONCLUSIONS Conventional chicken meat had higher iAs concentrations than did conventional antibiotic-free and organic chicken meat samples. Cessation of arsenical drug use could reduce exposure and the burden of arsenic-related disease in chicken consumers.

Abstract
An analytical method for determination and confirmation of nine coccidiostatics in eggs is reported. Ethyl acetate is used as extraction solvent, with satisfactory results, and simple automated clean-up is based on gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) . The target compounds are then analysed by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry. The method was validated in-house in accordance with Commission Decision 2002/657/EC. Trueness and precision were determined at four concentrations, and the mean errors obtained were <10 %, with relative standard deviations ranging from 3 to 18 %. For three non-authorized coccidiostatics (clopidol, ethopabate, and ronizadole), decision limit and detection capability were in the ranges 0.12-0.16 and 0.18-0.23 μg kg(-1), respectively. The results obtained prove the suitability of this new analytical method for routine monitoring of these substances in eggs.

Abstract
The usefulness of Tb(4)O(7) nanoparticles (NPs) as analytical reagents using sensitized luminescence as a detection system is described for the first time, and the results obtained are compared with those obtained using Tb(III) ions. Two drugs used in veterinary practice, namely, lasalocid (LAS) and salicylate (SAL), have been chosen as model analytes to carry out this study. The experimental conditions for these systems have been optimized, and their analytical features were obtained. The detection limits obtained for LAS and SAL using Tb(4)O(7) NPs were 1.0 and 4.0 ng mL(-1), respectively, which were comparable to those obtained using Tb(III) ions: 1.8 and 1.0 ng mL(-1), respectively. However, precision data, with relative standard deviation values in the range 2.3-3.8% using the NPs and 3.5-6.5% using Tb(III) ions, were slightly better for LAS with Tb(4)O(7) NPs. The practical analytical usefulness of Tb(4)O(7) NPs as luminescent reagents has been shown by performing the determination of LAS in tap water, feed premix, and egg samples, obtaining recoveries in the range of 80.0-105.0%.

Abstract
Coccidiostats are the only veterinary drugs still permitted to be used as feed additives to treat poultry for coccidiosis. To protect consumers, maximum levels for their presence in food and feed have been set by the European Union (EU). To monitor these coccidiostats, a rapid and inexpensive screening method would be a useful tool. The development of such a screening method, using a flow cytometry-based immunoassay, is described. The assay uses five sets of colour-coded paramagnetic microspheres for the detection of six selected priority coccidiostats. Different coccidiostats, with and without carrier proteins, were covalently coupled onto different bead sets and tested in combination with polyclonal antisera and with a fluorescent-labelled secondary antibody. The five optimal combinations were selected for this multiplex and a simple-to-use sample extraction method was applied for screening blank and spiked eggs and feed samples. A very good correlation (r ranging from 0.995 to 0.999) was obtained with the responses obtained in two different flow cytometers (Luminex 100 and FLEXMAP 3D). The sensitivities obtained were in accordance with the levels set by the EU as the measured limits of detection for narasin/salinomycin, lasalocid, diclazuril, nicarbazin (4,4'-dinitrocarbanilide) and monensin in eggs were 0.01, 0.1, 0.5, 53 and 0.1 μg/kg and in feed 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 9 and 1.5 μg/kg, respectively.

Abstract
Maduramicin is a coccidiostat authorized as feed additive in the European Union for chickens and turkeys for fattening but not for laying hens, considering the risk of residues in eggs. The unavoidable cross-contamination of non-target feed with coccidiostats is regulated by Commission Directive 2009/8/EC and resulting carry-over in food by Commission Regulation (EC) No. 124/2009. To verify the compliance of the maximum levels for maduramicin in feed (50 μg/kg) and eggs (2 μg/kg), the carry-over from feed into eggs was investigated. Diets containing 10, 30, and 50 μg of maduramicin/kg of feed were fed to laying hens. Feed, egg white, and yolk were analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Maduramicin residues were only detected in in egg yolk. Feeding the 10 μg/kg maduramicin diet resulted in maduramicin concentrations up to 2.5 μg/kg in whole eggs, already exceeding the maximum level. A carry-over rate of 8% maduramicin from feed into eggs was calculated.

Abstract
A quantitative, comprehensive multiresidue method which includes 20 coccidiostat residues has been developed. The method described uses a simple one-step liquid extraction with acetonitrile to isolate analytes from both the polyether ionophore and chemical classes of coccidiostats. Subsequent to a further concentration step, samples were analysed via UHPLC-MS/MS. The method was validated according to the Commission Decision 2002/657/EEC in egg and avian muscle. The method permitted quantitative confirmation for 13 compounds below target concentrations, and screening for a further 7 compounds. Within-laboratory repeatability gave accuracy values in the range of 68-129%, while reproducibility ranged between 75 and 123%. Calibration ranges were typically 1-50 μg kg⁻¹, although higher ranges were used for dinitrocarbanilide, imidocarb and toltrazuril residues. A regression coefficient (R²) value of greater than 0.98 was obtained for all analytes. Precision results ranged from 2.3 to 19.7% CV for egg and from 2.6 to 23.6% CV in muscle. CCα was in the range from 1.13 μg kg⁻¹ (clopidol) to 179 μg kg⁻¹ (lasalocid) in egg. In muscle, CCα ranged from 2.25 μg kg⁻¹ (aprinocid) to 4579 μg kg⁻¹ (dinitrocarbanilide). CCβ was from 1.29 μg kg⁻¹ (clopidol) to 209 μg kg⁻¹ (lasalocid) in egg, and 2.58 μg kg⁻¹ (arprinocid) to 6060 μg kg⁻¹ (dinitrocarbanilide) in muscle. Limits of quantification were 1 μg kg⁻¹ for all compounds, except imidocarb and dinitrocarbanilide (10 μg kg⁻¹), and toltrazuril and metabolites (50 μg kg⁻¹).

Abstract
Two anticoccidial agents, salinomycin and robenidine, heavily used in the worldwide veterinary meat production, were investigated for their potential biotic degradation by cultured soil bacteria. The degradation-study was performed in lab-scale bio-reactors under aerobic and anaerobic conditions incubated for 200 h with a mixed culture of soil bacteria. Samples were analyzed by LC-MS/MS and potential transformation products were tentatively identified. Salinomycin was degraded under aerobic conditions and traces could be found after 200 h, however, seems more persistent under anaerobic conditions. Four transformation products of salinomycin were discovered. Robenidine was degraded under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, however, traces of robenidine were observed after 200 h. Five biotic transformation products of robenidine were discovered.

Abstract
Monensin is a carboxylic polyether ionophore used in the poultry industry as a coccidiostat. It enters the environment via manure from broiler farms. In spite of its potential presence in the environment, information concerning monensin residues in manure and soil and its toxicity to soil organisms are insufficient. In the present study, two beneficial soil invertebrate species, earthworms (Eisenia andrei) and woodlice (Porcellio scaber), were used to assess the toxicity of monensin. Animals were exposed to a range of monensin concentrations via soil or food. Earthworm reproduction was found to be the most susceptible endpoint (NOEC=3.5 mg kg(-1) dry soil; EC(50)=12.7 mg kg(-1) dry soil), while no adverse effects were recorded in isopods (NOEC⩾849mgkg(-1) dry soil, NOEC⩾357mgkg(-1) dry food). The obtained toxicity data were compared with potential concentrations of monensin in soil. In view of this, manure from broiler chickens treated with monensin at a poultry farm was sampled. According to monensin and nitrogen concentrations in the chicken manure and the degradation time of monensin, the predicted environmental concentration (PEC) was calculated. PEC of monensin is around 0.013 mg kg(-1) soil if manure is used after 3 months of composting and 0.05 mg kg(-1) soil if used without storage. Data for earthworm reproduction was used to estimate the predicted no-effect concentration (PNEC). If fresh chicken manure is applied to terrestrial ecosystems, the risk quotient (PEC/PNEC ratio) is above 1, which indicates that monensin might pose an environmental risk under certain conditions. To prevent this, it is strongly recommended to compost chicken manure for several months before using it as fertiliser.

Abstract
A method for the determination of robenidine residue in chicken tissues and eggs by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was established. The samples were extracted with acetonitrile and purified by an HLB solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge. The extract was analyzed by HPLC with acetonitrile-0.05 mol/L NH4H2PO4 buffer (6:4, v/v, pH 6.5) as the mobile phase. The flow rate of the mobile phase was 1.0 mL/min and detection wavelength was 317 nm. There was a good linear correlation between the peak areas and the concentrations of robenidine in the range of 10-1000 microg/L. The limit of detection (S/N = 3) was 10 microg/L, and the limit of quantification (S/N = 10) was 15 microg/kg. The recoveries of robenidine were 73.1%-88.7% at the spiked levels of 15, 50 and 100 microg/kg. The results demonstrate that the method is easy, fast, sensitive, and suitable for the confirmation and quantification of robenidine residue in chicken tissues and eggs. The clean-up effect, sensitivity, accuracy and precision can all meet the analysis requirement.

Abstract
Lasalocid is an ionophore antibiotic extensively used as a coccidiostat in poultry production. Lasalocid should not be fed to egg-laying hens as it accumulates in the eggs, and residues have often been found in eggs. Other ionophores are toxic to humans, but the exact level of lasalocid toxicity to humans has not been established. Approximately 250 egg samples were analysed for lasalocid each year from the 10 billion eggs consumed annually in the UK. A census of the 32 Scottish Local Authority Environmental Health Departments assessed awareness of lasalocid residues in eggs, and the results indicated that awareness of lasalocid was very low and no local authorities tested for lasalocid. The example of lasalocid revealed weaknesses in the current sampling regime surrounding foods of animal origin. Conclusions are drawn that central government should raise awareness within local authorities and provide financial support on local authority sampling to achieve proper representation.

Abstract
Monensin is an anticoccidial drug that has been used as an additive in medicated feed. The United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) has included monensin in the national surveillance schemes for residues in foodstuff. In this study, two simple, selective and rapid methods were developed to determine monensin content in animal feed and milk. The methods enabled the detection of monensin residues as low as 1 ppb. Moreover, the two methods were used as models to compare two common liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) platforms; an LC linear ion trap (LC/LIT) and an LC triple quadrupole (LC/QqQ). The two instrument platforms were evaluated for their matrix effect dependence, precision and accuracy. The LC/QqQ presented a lower limit of detection and limit of quantitation (LOD and LOQ) and showed less matrix dependence as compared to the LC/LIT. The LC/QqQ instrument also demonstrated a better intermediate precision. For example, the intermediate precision standard deviation calculated for 27 analyses across three days was 4% and 11% for LC/QqQ and LC/LIT, respectively. Overall, the LC/QqQ represents a better choice for analysis of monensin with respect to LOD, LOQ, matrix interference and precision.

Abstract
Drugs that are used as medicines and also as growth promoters in veterinary care are considered as emerging environmental contaminants and in recent years concern about their potential risk to ecosystems and human health has risen. In this paper we used a method based on liquid chromatography/electrospray tandem mass spectrometry to analyze eight coccidiostatic compounds: diclazuril, dinitrocarbanilide (the main metabolite of nicarbazin), robenidine, lasalocid, monensin, salinomycin, maduramicin and nasarin. Multiple-stage mass spectrometry (MSn) based on the precursor ions [M+Na]+ (polyether ionophores), [M+H]+ (robenidine) and [M-H]- (diclazuril and dinitrocarbanilide) was used to study the fragmentation of these compounds. MSn data and genealogical relationships were used to propose a tentative assignment of the different fragment ions. Loss of water, decarboxylations, ketone beta-cleavages and rearrangement of cyclic ethers and amide groups were some of the fragmentations observed for these compounds. Liquid chromatography with a sub-2 microm particle size column was coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) allowing the separation of these compounds in less than 7 min. Method detection limits ranging from 11 to 71 ng L(-1) and run-to-run values in terms of relative standard deviation (RSD) (up to 12%) were obtained.

Abstract
The effects of four pretreatment methods (acetonitrile extraction-evaporation concentration, acetonitrile extraction-solid phase extraction (SPE), matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) extraction and MSPD-SPE) for the simultaneous analysis of diclazuril and toltrazuril residues in chicken tissues were compared. The average recovery of 70% for the former three methods as achieved. In comparison with other methods, the MSPD method saved more than 60% in time and solvent. So, MSPD as the sample pretreatment method, an MSPD-high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (MSPD-HPLC/UV) method was established for the analysis. Under the optimal chromatographic conditions, the linear range was between 50 and 1,000 microg/kg. At the added levels of 50, 500, 1,000 ng/g, the recoveries of diclazuril and toltrazuril in chicken tissues ranged from 71.13% - 84.02% with the relative standard deviations (RSD) in the range of 3.76% - 12.11%, and the RSDs of intra- and interday analyses ranged from 3.70% - 6.77%. The detection limits of diclazuril and toltrazuril were less than 10 microg/kg. The quantitative limits of diclazuril and toltrazuril were less than 20 microg/kg. The method meet the requirements of the residue analysis on accuracy and precision.

Abstract
The applicability of ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) combined with full-scan accurate mass time-of-flight (TOF) and Orbitrap mass spectrometry (MS) to the analysis of hormone and veterinary drug residues was evaluated. Extracts from blank bovine hair were fortified with 14 steroid esters. UPLC-Orbitrap MS performed at a resolving power of 60,000 (FWHM) enabled the detection and accurate mass measurement (<3 ppm error) of all 14 steroid esters at low ng/g concentration level, despite the complex matrix background. A 5 ppm mass tolerance window proved to be essential to generate highly selective reconstructed ion chromatograms (RICs) having reduced background from the hair matrix. UPLC-Orbitrap MS at a lower resolving power of 7500 and UPLC-TOFMS at mass resolving power 10,000 failed both to detect all of the steroid esters in hair extracts owing to the inability to mass resolve analyte ions from co-eluting isobaric matrix compounds. In a second application, animal feed extracts were fortified with coccidiostats drugs at levels ranging from 240 to 1900 ng/g. UPLC-Orbitrap MS conducted at a resolving power of 7500 and 60,000 and UPLC-TOFMS detected all of the analytes at the lowest investigated level. Thanks to the higher analyte-to-matrix background ratio, the utilization of very narrow mass tolerance windows in the RIC was not required. This study demonstrates that even when the targeted sample preparation from conventional LC-MS/MS is applied to UPLC with full-scan accurate mass MS, false compliant (false negative) results can be obtained when the mass resolving power of the MS is insufficient to separate analyte ions from isobaric co-eluting sample matrix ions. The current trend towards more generic and less selective sample preparation is expected to aggravate this issue further.

Abstract
A confirmative method to determine clopidol residues in chicken muscle by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was developed. The analyte was extracted with ace tonitrile, and then purified with an Alumina-B cartridge column. The drug was derived at 80 degrees 3 for 60 min with Sylon BFT, and more toluene was added and then applied to GC-MS. The mass spectral characteristics of trimethylsilyl derivative of clopidol were interpreted, and selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode was performed at m/z 212, 214, 248 and 263. The clopidol was qualitatively identified by the ratio of relative abundance of the selected ions and determined quantitatively by SIM mode at m/z 248. In the meantime, the matrix effect was evaluated. The range of linearity was 5.0 - 500 microg/L with the correlation coefficients better than 0.998, and the detection limit was 0.5 microg/kg (S/N = 3) for clopidol. The average recoveries from chicken muscle fortified at 5, 10 and 20 microg/kg were 77.0%, 84.5% and 89.4%, respectively, and the relative standard deviations (RSD) were less than 6.9%. The established method is simple, sensitive and reproducible for the identification and quantification of clopidol residues in chicken muscle tissue.

Abstract
Ethopabate is frequently used in the prophylaxis and treatment of coccidiosis in poultry. Residues of this drug in food present a potential risk to consumers. A simple, rapid, and sensitive column high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with UV detection for determination of ethopabate in poultry liver is presented. The drug is extracted with acetonitrile. After evaporation, the residue is dissolved with an acetone-hexane mixture and cleaned up by solid-phase extraction using Florisil columns. The analyte is then eluted with methanol. LC analysis is carried out on a C18 5 microm Gemini column, 15 cm x 4.6 mm. Ethopabate is quantified by means of UV detection at 270 nm. Parameters such as decision limit, detection capability, precision, recovery, ruggedness, and measurement uncertainty were calculated according to method validation guidelines provided in 2002/657/EC and ISO/IEC 17025:2005. Decision limit and detection capability were determined to be 2 and 3 microg/kg, respectively. Average recoveries from poultry samples fortified with 10, 15, and 20 microg/kg levels of ethopabate were 100-105%. A complete statistical analysis was performed on the results obtained, including an estimation of the method uncertainty. The method is to be implemented into Brazil's residue monitoring and control program for ethopabate.

Abstract
A liquid chromatographic (LC) method for the analysis of lasalocid sodium in premixes, complete animal feeds, and trace-level feeds was collaboratively studied. The method employs a 0.5% HCI acidified methanol extraction followed by 20 min sonication in a water bath heated to 40 degrees C. Samples are then shaken on a mechanical shaker for 1 h and stored overnight, followed by an additional 10 min shaking the following morning. Sample extracts are diluted if necessary with extractant, filtered, and injected onto an LC system. Determination of all lasalocid homologs is by reversed-phase LC with fluorescence detection at 314 nm excitation and 418 nm emission. Eight samples of drug premixes, medicated feeds, and mineral supplements, along with 2 samples for trace-level analysis were sent to 20 collaborators in the United States, Canada, and The Netherlands. Study data were returned by 17 laboratories. Two additional supplemental trace-level samples and a blank feed were provided to 15 of the collaborating laboratories, and test data were received from all 15 participants. For the drug premixes, medicated feeds, and mineral supplements, RSDr values (within-laboratory repeatability) ranged from 1.2 to 19.9%, RSDR values (among-laboratory reproducibility) ranged from 3.4 to 32.3%, and HorRat values ranged from 0.35 to 3.73. For the trace-level samples, only lasalocid A, the predominant homolog comprising > 90% of the sum of all homolog peak area, was quantified. All laboratories correctly identified the analyte. Although some instrument response was reported by a number of laboratories for the blank feed, all but one laboratory's results were well below the 1 mg/kg limit of quantification. RSDr values for the initial 2 trace-level samples were excessive, ranging from 51.6 to 64.4%. RSDR values ranged from 51.6 to 75.7%, and HorRat values ranged from 3.6 to 4.0. Data for the initial trace-level samples indicated that the test samples were improperly prepared to ensure homogeneity, and a new set of supplemental samples was provided to collaborators, with significantly improved results. RSDr values for the 2 supplemental trace-level samples ranged from 1.6 to 2.5%, RSDR values ranged from 5.6 to 9.2%, and HorRat values ranged from 0.43 to 0.62.

Abstract
Investigations were undertaken to identify causes for the occurrence of high levels of the zootechnical feed additive nicarbazin in broiler liver at slaughter. The first investigation on 32 commercial broiler flocks involved sampling and analysis for nicarbazin (as dinitrocarbanilide, DNC) in liver from birds during a 3-10-day period after withdrawal of nicarbazin from their feed and before commercial slaughter. DNC residues in liver samples of broilers scheduled as being withdrawn from nicarbazin for > or =6 days ranged from 20 to >1600 microg kg(-1) (the specified withdrawal period for nicarbazin is 5 days and the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) maximum residue limit (MRL) is 200 microg kg(-1) liver). Further on-farm investigations on 12 of these flocks, selected on the basis of the feeding system in use and the levels of DNC residues determined in liver, identified issues in feed management contributing to elevated residues in broiler liver. A significant correlation (0.81, p < 0.01, n = 10) between DNC residues in liver samples and in feed samples from the feeding pans was observed. The second investigation on 12 commercial broiler flocks involved sampling and analysis for DNC in liver samples and feed samples from feeding pans and from the feed mill at the three thinnings of birds for commercial slaughter. In the case of one flock, a clear relationship between nicarbazin in feed from the feed mill (10.5 mg kg(-1) DNC), in feed from the feeding pans (6.6 mg kg(-1) DNC) and in liver (583 microg kg(-1) DNC) at first thinning (9 days scheduled withdrawal from nicarbazin) was observed. Such a clear relationship was not observed in other cases, particularly at second and third thinnings, pointing to re-exposure of birds to nicarbazin late in the flock production cycle, probably from the litter. Guidelines outlining best farm practice to eliminate nicarbazin residues in poultry have been published in booklet and poster format for broiler producers and deal with feed system cleaning, feed bin management, feed deliveries, feed usage and records.

Abstract
The usefulness of an existing sample preparation technique used for ionophoric coccidiostats (lasalocid, monensin, salinomycin and narasin) was applied in the analysis of emerging Fusarium-mycotoxins beauvericin (BEA) and enniatins (ENNs) in poultry tissues (liver and meat). Also, maduramicin and liver as a new sample matrix was introduced. The developed methods were validated and applied for the determination of coccidiostats and BEA/ENNs in Finnish poultry tissues in 2004-2005. The validation parameters demonstrated that the integrated sample preparation technique is applicable to the parallel determination of these contaminants in poultry tissues. Of the samples analysed (276 meat and 43 liver), only trace levels of LAS, MON, SAL, NAR and MAD were detected in 7, 3, 5, 6 and 4% of the samples, respectively. Interestingly, for the first time, traces of BEA and ENNs could also be detected in animal tissues. BEA and ENNs A, A1, B and B1 were found in 2, 0.3, 0.6, 4 and 3% of the samples, respectively. The simultaneous presence of coccidiostats and mycotoxins was detected in three turkey samples in 2004.

Abstract
Concentrations of the coccidiostat nicarbazin as low as 2 mg/kg in feed can result in violative drug residues arising in poultry liver. A lateral flow device (LFD) was developed for the detection of contaminating concentrations of nicarbazin following solvent extraction of poultry feeds. Test results, as determined by both visual and instrumental measurement, are available within minutes. For 22 feed samples, nicarbazin-free and fortified at 2 mg/kg, the % relative inhibition ranged from 0 to 45% and from 53 to 85%, respectively. Nicarbazin contamination at the critical concentration (2 mg/kg) can be determined in all cases providing the sampling is representative. A wide range of feed samples taken at a mill that incorporated nicarbazin into poultry feed were analyzed. Data generated for these samples by both the LFDs and a mass spectrometric method were compared, and a significant correlation was achieved.

Abstract
Nicarbazin and halofuginone have been widely used as coccidiostats for the prevention and treatment of coccidiosis in poultry. It has been shown that accidental cross-contamination of feed can lead to residues of these compounds in eggs and/or muscle. This paper describes a direct competitive assay for detecting halofuginone and nicarbazin, developed as qualitative screening assay. In an optimized competitive ELISA, antibodies showed 50% binding inhibition at approximately 0.08 ng ml(-1) for halofuginone and 2.5 ng ml(-1) for dinitrocarbanilide (marker residue for nicarbazin). Extraction from the matrix was carried out with acetonitrile followed by a wash with hexane. The assay's detection capability (CCbeta) for halofuginone was < 0.5 microg kg(-1) in egg and < 1 microg kg(-1) in muscle. For dinitrocarbanilide, the CCbeta was estimated at < 3 microg kg(-1) in egg and < 10 microg kg(-1) in chicken muscle.

Abstract
A newly developed HPLC method for determination of glycarbylamide (GB) in chicken liver was applied to other tissues (muscle, fat and kidney). The recoveries of GB in muscle, fat and kidney were 87.2% (CV 0.5), 91.3% (CV 4.7), 79.7% (CV 1.0), respectively. The detection limit of GB was 0.01 ppm. GB concentrations were determined by this method in tissues (muscle, fat, liver and kidney) from chickens sacrificed 5 days after oral administration of GB mixed in feed at 60 mg/kg of feed for 7 days. GB was not detected in these chicken tissues.

Abstract
A new and simple analytical method for glycarbylamide (GB) based on the formation of nickel chelate was developed. The proposed method is as follows: sample solution is mixed with 0.08 mmol/L nickel nitrate in 0.2 mol/L carbonate buffer (pH 9.0), and the absorbance is measured at 290 nm. Under the optimal conditions, GB could be determined in the concentration range from 0.13 microg/mL to 2.6 microg/mL (r = 0.9999). Using this method for HPLC post column reaction, GB levels in chicken liver extracts could be determined. The recovery of GB was 79.4% (RSD=2.6%, n=3) and the quantitation limit was 30 ng/g. The apparent molar extinction coefficient (epsilon) of the GB-nickel complex was 8.5 x 10(3). The molar ratio of the complex is GB: nickel ion = 2:1.

Abstract
Artemisinin has received much attention in the treatment of malaria in recent years, and it is now considered as a potential candidate to reduce coccidial infection in chickens. It is a sesquiterpene compound which has been isolated from Aretemisia annua for the first time. The present study aimed to investigate the occurrence of artemisinin in A. sieberi (AS) and to test the anticoccidial effects of plant extract in broiler chickens. The aerial parts of the plant were collected during different seasons from Yazd Province, in the centre of Iran. The artemisinin content of the AS was extracted with petrol ether and analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography using UV detection. Anticoccidial effects of the plant extract were tested on chicks challenged with various species of Eimeria. The infected chickens were treated with doses of 1 or 2.5 mg/kg per day artemisinin via oral administration of plant extract. The analytical results showed that the level of artemisinin in AS was 0.2% and 0.14% of dried weight (DW) of plant materials in summer and autumn, respectively. Treatment of experimentally infected chickens with AS extracts showed that artemisinin was able to reduce the severity of coccidial infection induced by Eimeria tenella and E. acervulina, but not E. maxima. The anticoccidial effects of artemisinin were shown by significant decrease in output of number of oocysts per gram of faeces in chickens challenged with different species of Eimeria. This study showed that the levels of artemisinin in AS were comparable with those in other species including A. annua, and that the extract of this plant can reduce coccidial infection in broiler chickens.

Abstract
A published confirmatory method for the quantitative determination of four ionophoric coccidiostats (lasalocid, monensin, salinomycin and narasin) in eggs and broiler meat has been further developed. It is proposed for replacement of liquid chromatography methods previously used in analysis of ionophoric coccidiostats. The samples were extracted with acetonitrile and purified on a silica solid phase extraction column. Purified samples were analysed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and the method, was validated according to the Commission Decision 2002/657/EC. The validation parameters selectivity, linearity, specificity, precision, recovery, decision limit (CCalpha) and detection capability (CCbeta) were determined. The recoveries of coccidiostats analysed ranged from 64-99% in eggs and 62-100% in broiler meat. CCalpha varied from 0.8-1.4 microg/kg in eggs and from 1.5-2.5 microg/kg in broiler meat. CCbeta varied from 0.9 microg/kg to 2.0 microg/kg in eggs and from 1.7-3.2 microg/kg in broiler meat.

Abstract
A Bacillus stearothermophilus var. calidolactis C953 tube test was evaluated for its ability in detecting the residue of selected anticoccidial drugs in poultry, specially sulfamethazine, furazolidone, and amprolium. Various concentrations of each drug were injected into chicken liver and kidney tissues and these tissues were tested to determine the drug detection limits for each drug. The detection limit was defined as the drug concentration at which 95 % of the test results were interpreted as positive. The limits of detection in liver tissue were 0.35 microgram/ml for furazolidone, 0.70 microgram/ml for sulfamethazine and 7.80 microgram/ml for amprolium. In kidney tissues, they were 0.30 microgram/ml for furazolidone, 0.54 microgram/ml for sulfamethazine, and 7.6 microgram/ml for amprolium. It was concluded that this tube test could be used to screen for the residue of these three drugs in poultry.

Abstract
A survey of the presence of residues of anticoccidials was performed. Three hundred and twenty egg samples, purchased in eight different European countries, were analysed for the presence of nine different compounds: dimetridazole, diclazuril, halofuginone, robenidine, nicarbazin, narasin, salinomycin, lasalocid and monensin. Analyses were performed by LC-MS/MS. Of the samples analysed, 114 (35.6%) contained one or more of the nine anticoccidials in concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 63 microg kg-1. Salinomycin and lasalocid account for more than 60% of all positive samples. Almost 90% of all positive samples contained less than 2 microg kg-1. Results were put into perspective of the farming method and country of origin.

Abstract
The change of concentration of residues of the marker compound for the anti-coccidial drug nicarbazin, N,N'-bis(4-nitrophenyl)urea (dinitrocarbanilide, DNC), was investigated in model oil and aqueous solutions and in chicken muscle and egg. In model aqueous solutions, DNC decreased rapidly in concentration upon heating followed by a much more gradual decomposition. The curves produced when this information was plotted were not typical of exponential decay. In model cooking oil solutions, DNC generally showed a slower decrease in concentration over time when compared with aqueous solutions. DNC residues in egg were stable to microwave cooking and residues in chicken muscle were stable to stewing and microwaving. Other cooking procedures led to a decrease in amount of DNC by 22% to 48% of the total amount of analyte present. Only a small amount (<2%) of residue leached with juices which exuded as the food was cooked.

Abstract
Anticoccidials are compounds that are widely used as feed additives to prevent and treat coccidiosis. They are licensed for use in a prescribed concentration and during a certain time interval for broilers and pullets but not for laying hens. It was shown in the past that carry-over at the feeding mill is found to be the main reason for the presence of residues in eggs. An animal experiment was set up to investigate the effect of carry-over at the feeding mill on the presence of residues of anticoccidials in eggs. For the compounds diclazuril, robenidine, halofuginone and nicarbazin in combination with narasin, two concentration levels were tested: the maximum allowed concentration for broilers (100%) and a concentration corresponding to 5% carry-over during feed preparation. Also dimetridazole was included in the experiment but only at one concentration level. Eggs were sampled during treatment (14 days) and for a period of 30 days after withdrawal of the anticoccidial-containing feed. Residues were determined, and deposition and depletion curves were generated. Analyses were performed by ELISA and LC-MS/MS. For all compounds, substantial residues could be found in the 5% groups, which points out the risk of carry-over at the feeding mill. The distribution of the residues between egg yolk and white was determined by analyzing both fractions.

Abstract
A method is described which permits the quantitative detection of the chemical coccidiostats halofuginone, robenidine, diclazuril, nicarbazin and dimetridazole and its main metabolite 2-hydroxydimetridazole in poultry eggs and feed. Sample preparations were kept very simple and are based upon extraction with an organic solvent. Sample extracts were injected into the liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) system on a C18 column and a gradient elution was performed. Dimetridazole-D3 and diclazuril-bis, a structural analogue of diclazuril, were used as internal standards. Detection was performed on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer in the selected reaction monitoring mode after ionisation in the positive or negative electrospray ionisation mode. Argon was applied as collision gas for collision induced dissociation. Validation of the methods was performed based on Commission Decision 2002/657/EC [Official Journal of the European Communities L221 (2002) 8].

Abstract
The determination of the animal feed additive roxarsone (3-nitro-4-hydroxyphenylarsonic acid) and six of its possible transformation products (arsenite, arsenate, monomethylarsonate, dimethylarsinate, 3-amino-4-hydroxyphenylarsonic acid, and 4-hydroxyphenylarsonic acid) in chicken manure was investigated using capillary electrophoresis-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (CE-ICP-MS). Initial method development was conducted using ultraviolet (UV) detection for ruggedness and time efficiency. Separation of these seven arsenic species was effected using a 20 mM phosphate buffer at pH 5.7. The CE-ICP-MS limits of detection in terms of As for each of the species was in the low microg.L(-1) range, corresponding to absolute detection limits in the range 20-70 fg As (based on a 23 nL injection). Overall, the method developed in this study provides high selectivity and low limits of detection (1-3 microg.L(-1) or low-ppb, based on As), uses small sample volume (low nL), and produces minimal wastes.

Abstract
A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method for the quantitative determination of diclazuril in poultry tissues and feed is presented. A simple clean up with an organic solvent was carried out. A reversed-phase C(18) column was used for the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to separate the analyte with a gradient of acetonitrile and water as mobile phase. The precursor ions produced by electrospray negative ionization were selected for collisional dissociation. Validation of the methods was performed based on Commission Decision 2002/657/EC (Off. J. Eur. Communities 2002, L221, 8-36). For the detection of diclazuril in poultry meat, the decision limit was found to be 0.5 microg/kg. An animal experiment was set up in which 70 chickens were held for 6 weeks. From day 22 until day 32, they were fed feed containing 730 microg/kg diclazuril. From day 33 until day 42, every day six chickens were slaughtered, and breast, thigh, and liver were analyzed. Average steady-state concentrations of 94, 135, and 722 microg/kg in breast, thigh, and liver were obtained, respectively. Nine days after withdrawal of the medicated feed, diclazuril was still present in the different sample types.

Abstract
Laying hens were fed contaminated feed containing narasin 2.5 mg/kg for 21 days followed by a 7 day withdrawal period, hens in the control group were fed unmedicated feed. Eggs were collected during trial days 0, 3, 7, 14, 21 and after the withdrawal period of 7 days. The concentration of narasin in yolks and egg whites was analyzed by a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method. Narasin was found to accumulate in yolks, where the narasin concentration increased during the treatment. The concentration of narasin varied from 5.9 to 13.8 microg/kg (mean 10.6 microg/kg) in yolks after 21 day feeding periods. The concentrations of narasin ranged from < 0.9 to 1.4 microg/kg after the withdrawal period. Narasin residues were not found in egg whites of the laying hens fed contaminated feed nor in either yolks or egg whites of the laying hens fed unmedicated feed. The effect of cooking was also tested on the amount of narasin residues in eggs. Cooking for 10 min did not significantly influence the narasin residues in eggs. Traces of lasalocid were also found in the yolks. The traces of lasalocid are attributable to an accidental contamination of the feed during its manufacture.

Abstract
A sensitive and selective liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometric method (LC/MS/MS) for the simultaneous detection of the ionophoric coccidiostats narasin, monensin, lasalocid and salinomycin in whole eggs has been developed. A very simple sample preparation consisting of an extraction with an organic solvent was carried out. Sample extracts were injected into the LC/MS/MS system on a C18 column and an isocratic elution was performed. Nigericin was used as internal standard. The precursor ions produced by electrospray positive ionisation were selected for collisional dissociation with argon into product ions. Validation of the methods was performed based on Commission Decision 2002/657/EC.1 CC(alpha) was found to be 1 microg/kg for all four compounds. Monitoring of Belgian egg samples in 2004 revealed that residues of salinomycin, lasalocid and monensin could be found.

Abstract
We present a method based on electrospray liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for determining in muscle and eggs the following nine coccidiostats: halofuginone, diclazuril, dinitrocarbanilide (the main metabolite of nicarbazin), robenidine, monensin, lasalocid, narasin, salinomycin, and maduramicin. Dinitrocarbanilide-d8, nigericin, and diclazuril-bis were used as internal standards. The method uses extraction in acetonitrile followed by a clean-up on an SiOH solid-phase extraction column. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation was performed on a Purospher C(18) column (125 mm x 3 mm i.d.) protected by a guard column, the mobile phase being a water-acetonitrile gradient (each gradient component containing 0.1% formic acid) at a flow rate of 1 ml min(-1). For unequivocal identification of each analyte, two ions were detected and chosen for multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Validation was carried out on spiked muscle and egg samples. The method described meets all the criteria of Decision 2002/657/EC and is easy to use in routine analysis. Validation results are presented with the measured CCalpha and CCbeta values. This whole method allows extraction and analysis of up to 24 samples per day.

Abstract
A reversed-phase liquid chromatography method for nicarbazin in broiler feeds and premixtures was developed, validated, and interlaboratory studied. The extraction solvent was an acetonitrile-methanol (1 + 1) mixture. For feedingstuffs, water was also added. The 4,4'-dinitrocarbanilide moiety of nicarbazin was detected at a wavelength of 350 nm. Recovery was > or =87%. At 20 mg/kg, the repeatability was 0.7% and the within-laboratory reproducibility was 2.7%. The limit of determination was <20 mg/kg. Other feed additives did not interfere in the assay that proved to be applicable to broiler feeds from different European Union countries. In an interlaboratory study, 4 positive broiler feeds, 1 blank pig feed, and 1 broiler premixture were analyzed by 19 laboratories using the method developed in this study. The relative standard deviation for repeatability (RSDr) of the feedingstuffs (20-240 mg/kg) varied between 2.6 and 10.2%. The HORRAT ranged between 0.70 and 1.22. Recoveries were 91-108%. Three laboratories detected small signals in the blind blank samples, ranging from 0.4 to 2 mg/kg. For the premixture, acceptable results for reproducibility could only be obtained after the sample weight and volume of extraction had been doubled. To avoid excessive dilution of the extracts, the range of the calibration curve had also been doubled. With this modified method, the RSDr was 5.7% and the HORRAT was 1.95 (10 laboratories).

Abstract
We describe the development, optimization, and application of a novel method for the unequivocal identification and quantification of roxarsone (3-nitro-4-hydroxyphenylarsonic acid, 3-NHPAA) at low microg L(-1) levels. The method is based on capillary gas-liquid chromatography with parallel quadrupole ion-trap mass spectrometric (QIT-MS) and pulsed flame photometric detection (PFPD). The sensitive method couples the arsenic specificity of PFPD with the high selectivity of molecular MS for the determination of roxarsone, dimethylarsenic acid (DMAA), and monomethylarsonic acid (MMAA) in complex matrices. Analytes were derivatized based on the approach we previously reported [B. Szostek, J.H. Aldstadt, J. Chromatogr. A 807 (1998) 253 and D.R. Killelea, J.H. Aldstadt, J. Chromatogr. A 918 (2001) 169] for the reaction of organoarsenicals with 1,3-propanedithiol (PDT). The cyclic dithiaarsenolines formed were extracted from the sample matrix in the liquid phase by solid-phase microextraction (SPME). The optimized SPME conditions employed a 65 microm polydimethlysiloxane-divinylbenzene (PDMS-DVB) fiber, extraction temperature of 70 degrees C and fiber equilibration time of 15.0 min. The mass spectrum of the dithiaarsenoline of roxarsone showed a base peak that corresponded to the predicted structure at m/z 319 and the tell-tale peak of an arsenic compound derivatized with PDT at m/z 181. Further peaks at m/z 149 and 228 were observed and found to be unique to roxarsone, formed by an interesting internal rearrangement of the ONOH functionality. A linear calibration model was prepared for roxarsone over an environmentally relevant range (0.0-100 microg L(-1)) and a detection limit of 2.69 microg L(-1) (3sigma) was observed. The method was applied to several fortified environmental surface water samples (50 microg L(-1)) where the average recovery for roxarsone was 103+/-10.9%.

Abstract
A reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC) method for narasin in feedingstuffs and premixtures was developed, validated, and interlaboratory studied. The extraction solvent was methanol-K2HPO4 solution (9 + 1, v/v). Narasin was detected at 600 nm after post-column derivatization with dimethylamino-benzaldehyde. Recovery was >90%. The repeatability (RSDr) in feed (20-140 mg/kg) ranged between 1.2 and 10.5%; the within-laboratory reproducibility (RSD(R)) ranged between 2.2 and 4.9%. The limit of determination was <20 mg/kg. Other feed additives did not interfere in the assay. The method showed ruggedness against changes in the composition of extraction solvent, eluent, and conditions for post-column reactions. In an interlaboratory study, 5 broiler feeds (4 positive, 1 blank) and 1 premixture were analyzed by 13 laboratories. The RSDr of the feedingstuffs (20-120 mg/kg) varied between 2.17 and 7.57%. The HORRAT ranged between 0.77 and 0.88, with recoveries between 82 and 104%. One laboratory detected small signals in the blank sample, calculated as 0.6 and 2.8 mg/kg. For the premixture, acceptable results for reproducibility could only be obtained after modification of the method: the RSDr was 4.42% and the HORRAT was 1.56 (12 laboratories).

Abstract
An automated immunoassay for the detection of nicarbazin residues in poultry eggs and liver was developed. The assay was based on a novel all-in-one dry chemistry concept and time-resolved fluorometry. The analyte specific antibody was immobilized into a single microtiter well and covered with an insulation layer, on top of which the label was dried in a small volume. The extracted sample was added automatically to the dry microtiter well, and the result was available within 18 min. Due to the rapidity and simplicity, the quantitative immunoassay could also be used as a high throughput screening method. The analytical limit of detection for the assay was calculated as 0.1 ng mL(-)(1) (n = 12) and the functional limit of detection as 3.2 ng g(-)(1) for egg (n = 6) and 11.3 ng g(-)(1) for liver (n = 6) samples. The sample recovery varied from 97.3 to 115.6%. Typically, the intra-assay variations were less than 10%, and interassay variations ranged between 8.1 and 13.6%.

Abstract
The official AOAC spectrophotometric analytical method for amprolium in feeds (961.24) is quantitatively selective for the intact drug in the presence of its primary degradation products. Concentrations evaluated included mixtures of the individual degradates in the presence of amprolium, as well as an equimolar mixture of the 2 degradates. Neither compound responds to the amprolium colorimetric derivatization reaction under any conditions, demonstrating that the official method can be used as an analytical technique for demonstrating the stability of amprolium in medicated feeds. Additionally, liquid chromatography conditions have been established to resolve amprolium from its degradation products.

Abstract
Anticoccidial drugs are extensively used in the poultry industry to control the infection of the single-cell protozoa of the genus Eimeria. The most commonly used coccidiostats in poultry are the polyether ionophores such as narasin and salinomycin. This paper presents a rapid and simple method for the screening of residues of these two coccidiostatic compounds in poultry and eggs. The method is based on time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay. Sample preparation of eggs consists only of one extraction and evaporation step, and a solid phase extraction step is needed only for the muscle sample preparation. Mean recoveries were 91.0% from muscle tissue and 81.1% from eggs for both narasin and salinomycin. The performance of the assay was evaluated only for narasin because salinomycin had a cross-reactivity of 100% in the assay, and the recoveries of the compounds were not significantly different (P >0.05). The limits of detection [mean + 3 x standard deviation (SD)] of narasin were 0.56 and 0.28 microg/kg, and the limits of quantification (mean + 9 x SD) were 1.80 and 0.57 microg/kg for muscle and eggs, respectively. The coefficients of variation (CV) of the interassay precision of the method, evaluated by five replicate analyses of muscle samples spiked with 2 microg/kg of narasin and egg samples spiked with 1 microg/kg of narasin, were 4.1 and 6.4%, respectively. The CVs of intra-assay precision tests, determined by 10 replicate analyses at the above-mentioned concentration levels, were 3.8 and 4.5%, respectively.
