Abstract:
For this study, 12 buffalo calves of either sex were selected. A group of six buffalo calves was administered with cefquinome @ 2 mg/kg by intramuscular route and another group of six buffalo calves was administered with cefquinome @ 2 mg/kg by intravenous route. The serum cefquinome concentrations in buffalo calves were determined up to 24 hrs after drug administration by using microbiological assay method. In the present study the therapeutic concentrations of cefquinome were maintained for more than 8 hours (0.007 ± 0.003mcg/ml) after intravenous administration and intramuscular administration and at the time of 10^th hr sampling the cefquinome was not detected in serum after either intramuscular or intravenous administration
